| Eyes closed fingers poised
|
| Flowers strung about Adonis
|
| The words below go around the sun
|
| The Cat, always deep, always fun
|
| A quiet calm in a wild world
|
| A friendly voice, a seeker’s curse
|
| A faraway look and a searing vision
|
| The Cat, he sang his simple verse
|
| The patterns still a desert haze
|
| Before the moulds are made and the lines are strung
|
| Before grown-up good sense betrays
|
| The Cat; |
| and all the stories sung
|
| So ask the questions even if
|
| You have no answers
|
| Tell your wide-eyed tales
|
| For the Cat, he never made the sale
|
| He loved his dog, he got on a train
|
| A stranger in a known land
|
| The words they stuck and the tunes remain
|
| The Cat, he took another stand
|
| But he sure could dance
|
| He sure could dance
|
| You know the Cat always lands on his feet
|
| Watch him move… |
