The Cat Lyrics

I am the cat that walks alone
I have no past and no recall
The daytime passes into dusk
The golden motes of dust still dance
But there's no living for me here
I must move on, the call is clear

And you won't notice me at all
The night is dark and we're all grey
A shape that shifts in shadow's play
An eye that gleams and then lets die
The moment soft as silken down
You're not listening, so you can't hear

And I watch you so carefully Your tricks and habits I absorb
The way you light a cigarette
The drink, the chat, the pointless play
Your earrings swing and catch the light
My spirit walks, in that thin spark

I am the cat that walks alone
I hunt in silence, then I'm gone
My fire burns fierce, but it's contained
You only thought you caught a glimpse
A trick d light, so hard to say
You'll sleep forever, and I move on...
