| Ship Cat
|
| Through some thousand-shaggy year, Am Dm E7
|
| Having trodden a path in fate, Am Striped like a tiger, Ship Cat Dm G Learned to dream about you. |
| C Am
|
| And the night rats of your adversity crawled through the holes, Dm G C Am
|
| When the Ship Cat came out into the moonbeam. |
| Dm E7 Am He entered your dream, dispelling fear,
|
| Bringing comfort and peace
|
| And salt glittered on his mustache,
|
| And the fur sparkled at hand.
|
| And the heavenly wagon unloaded the sunrise, and left empty,
|
| The day began - the cat smiled and melted like smoke.
|
| And it seemed that he was walking in the crowd
|
| And he's wearing a striped coat,
|
| And about the fact that he is a Ship Cat -
|
| Nobody here knows, nobody.
|
| Not to see blue lagoons in the verticals of his pupils:
|
| He is silent because this is the situation in the world today.
|
| If you are cool - then full speed ahead -
|
| In the hands of the flag and in the certificate seal.
|
| Well, what if you are a Ship Cat,
|
| Then it is better to remain silent about this:
|
| This is your sword, this is your shield and your path...
|
| That's why the Cat is silent, that it's impossible to talk about it in vain.
|
| In the meantime, the winds are roaring over the outpost,
|
| They tear out the tow from the walls,
|
| Minus forty five in the yard in the morning,
|
| The weather vane froze on a pole.
|
| Well, and the Cat returns to the ship to protect provisions from rats,
|
| So that when the time comes - to dream again. |
