Ink on the Carpet

Intro

Oh oh

Yeah yeah

Verse 1

Midnight coat in the hallway light

Moving like a shadow through the late dark

I see yellow circles glow in the night

You claim the corner like it is a park

Found a spot by my weary feet

Tucked into the quilt with a soft purr

Landing so quiet like a secret in the street

Little velvet heart hidden under the fur

Pre-Chorus

Tail flicking slow like a clock on the wall

Waiting for a wink or a sign

Waiting for the silence to fall

Suddenly I know that you are mine

Chorus

Void in the kitchen

Void on the bed

Ink on the carpet

A mystery inside of your head

Ghost in the garden

Ghost by my side

You were a stray

Now you have nothing to hide

Shadow on the sofa

Shadow in my heart

Verse 2

Milk in a saucer by the wooden door

Never heard a sound when you climbed in

Stretching your claws across the cold floor

Checking out the place where we begin

Wondering where you spent all those days

Prowling in the alley with the cold rain

Changing my world with your quiet ways

Curing every ounce of my old pain

Pre-Chorus

Tail flicking slow like a clock on the wall

Waiting for a wink or a sign

Waiting for the silence to fall

Suddenly I know that you are mine

Chorus

Void in the kitchen

Void on the bed

Ink on the carpet

A mystery inside of your head

Ghost in the garden

Ghost by my side

You were a stray

Now you have nothing to hide

Shadow on the sofa

Shadow in my heart

Bridge

Maybe you are magic or a little sprite

Keeping all the bad luck out of my way

Pacing in the hallway like a holy rite

Turned my lonely night into a brighter day

Yes you did

Chorus

Void in the kitchen

Void on the bed

Ink on the carpet

A mystery inside of your head

Ghost in the garden

Ghost by my side

You were a stray

Now you have nothing to hide

Shadow on the sofa

Shadow in my heart
