- Yellow Cat Lyrics / with translationsIt's late December the New Years never coming
Time passes slowly in a two room walk up flat
The sun is silent there's a cold rain gonna come on
No one to talk to
But my ladys yellow cat
Rain drops falling on the flowers In the window box
Plastic roses that I planted yesterday
I didn't think they'd die so soon
But they're all withered now
Seems like everything I touch
Turns out that way
Well I guess I just go walking
The cats no good for talkin' to
He don't know what I'm saying
And the rain is always
Playing on my mind
On my mind
Street lights drifting through the blinds that cover window panes
Blending softly with the bare lights over head
Then together they run swiftly through my memory
And eerie image of a strange and empty bed
Wind is whipping up the papers in the streets below
Got some books to read
But it seems they've all been read
Clouds are crowded in a misty
Drifting sky above
And i wish to hell
I could remember what i said.
A crystal wine glass on a table filled with scarlet stains
Stands alone and empty where there once was two
The jug is silent on the table with my broken dreams
The wine is gone my lady and so my love are you
Time passes slowly in a two room walk up flat
The sun is silent there's a cold rain gonna come on
No one to talk to
But my ladys yellow cat
Rain drops falling on the flowers In the window box
Plastic roses that I planted yesterday
I didn't think they'd die so soon
But they're all withered now
Seems like everything I touch
Turns out that way
Well I guess I just go walking
The cats no good for talkin' to
He don't know what I'm saying
And the rain is always
Playing on my mind
On my mind
Street lights drifting through the blinds that cover window panes
Then together they run swiftly through my memory
And eerie image of a strange and empty bed
Wind is whipping up the papers in the streets below
Got some books to read
But it seems they've all been read
Clouds are crowded in a misty
Drifting sky above
And i wish to hell
I could remember what i said.
A crystal wine glass on a table filled with scarlet stains
Stands alone and empty where there once was two
The jug is silent on the table with my broken dreams
The wine is gone my lady and so my love are you

✔️
It is first released in 1969 as part of John Denver's album "Rhymes & Reasons" which includes 14 tracks in total. This song is the 8th track on this album.
✔️
When we look at what the artist truly meant to say, John Denver's "Yellow Cat" tackles the topics of isolation and grief through the yellow cat and the comparison with the plastic flowers to express the deadness of the love and gradually the love itself. Moreover, the main lyrics of the song unfold heartache, loneliness, anxiety, depression, and contemplation. However, the song still places a heavy emphasis on the virtues of solitude, the pain of losing someone, and the significance of remembering. Although the song's lyrics reflect themes of loneliness, loss, and melancholy which might be very strong in emotional terms for children, they are still somewhat tamed by the language used. Thus, the film rating of PG, which means that parental guidance is suggested, might still apply to the song due to a mild language combined with the mood and subject matter that are overall quite similar to those of a PG-rated movie.
