( The Family Cat )
|
|
As I wander madly long this sun-cracked river bed
|
A hundred carrion crows are circling
|
High above my head
|
They cast an evil shadow as they wheel and cry above
|
Me, I'm just walking down the river
|
Searching for
|
|
Hey
|
Where is the place where I belong
|
Carry on carry on carry on
|
Back to the place where you belong
|
|
The clouds hand deep and heavy
|
As I see the house below
|
A wind both kind and fragrant melts the last
|
Remnants of snow
|
I'm crazy and you know it as I walk this final mile
|
Me, I'm just walking down the river
|
Searching for
|
|
Hey
|
Where is the place where I belong
|
Carry on carry on carry on
|
Back to the place where you belong
|
|
A cat slinks out beneath me as I take a step inside
|
The dust lies thick and heavy on the things
|
I owned with pride
|
The memory of your face still lingers
|
And your spirit too
|
Me, I'm just walking down the river
|
Searching for
|
|
Hey
|
Where is the place where I belong
|
Carry on carry on carry on
|
Back to the place where you belong
|
