The Feast of Ticks and Tocks (Nova's softcropped)

Moonlight paints the wooden floor

Tiny footsteps by the door.

Whiskers twitch and shadows creep,

Someone should've stayed asleep.

Chorus

Tip toe, tip toe,

Ity bity mouse.

Tip toe, tip toe,

Don't make a sound.

Tick tock, tick tock.

The cat will wake soon.

Tick tock, tick tock.

The cat will feast soon.

Verse 2

Every heartbeat echoes loud,

Hidden safely in the crowd.

One wrong move, one tiny squeak,

And the hunter's on the sneak.

Bridge

Eyes like lanterns in the night,

Waiting for the moment right.

Silence is the only shield...

Will the little mouse be revealed?

Final Chorus

Tip toe, tip toe,

Ity bity mouse.

Tip toe, tip toe,

Don't make a sound.

Tick tock, tick tock.

The cat will wake soon.

Tick tock, tick tock.

The cat will feast soon.

Outro

Shhh...

Verse 3

Floorboards moan a lullaby,

Moon has climbed toward the sky.

Pattering against the wall,

One small shadow, that is all.

Chorus

Hold still, hold still,

Ity bity mouse.

Hold still, hold still,

Beneath the house.

Wind blows, wind blows,

The cat has gone.

Wind blows, wind blows,

The night moves on.

Bridge 2

Dust and cobwebs gently sway,

Morning light is far away.

Every breath a tiny prayer,

Floating through the quiet air.

Outro

Safe...

For now...

Sleep...

Somehow...
