Verse 1 Down the lane where the wind blows slow I saw a pair of bright eyes glow All dusty fur and a tail so thin A tiny stranger where the grasses bend He tilted his head, he gave a quiet mew Like he’d been waiting just to find someone new I said "Little one, where do you belong?" He stepped right close and he followed along Pre-Chorus Step by step, down the path we’d go Not far behind, never too slow When I turned around, there he’d always be This little mystery walking home with me Chorus Gerald, Gerald, soft and strange and sweet Tiny paws padding down the street You wandered in from I don’t know where Now I know you’re meant to be right here My little Gerald, my new best friend With you right by my side, the days feel bright again Verse 2 Crossed the stream and past the old oak tree I kept on glancing back at you seeing me You hopped the gate that led to my front door Like you’d been here a hundred times before I set out a bowl, I sat upon the floor You curled right up, you didn’t ask for more Purring low like a little secret song And I knew right then you were where you belong Pre-Chorus Day by day, you made the place your own Exploring every corner, every stone No longer lost, no longer passing through You found a home and I found you Chorus Gerald, Gerald, soft and strange and sweet Tiny paws padding down the street You wandered in from I don’t know where Now I know you’re meant to be right here My little Gerald, my new best friend With you right by my side, the days feel bright again Bridge I never went looking, I never planned it so Just a walk outside and you said hello Strange little cat with your quiet grace Filling empty spaces in this place You’re small but you’ve got such a big warm heart And from this moment on, we’re never apart Outro Gerald… Gerald… Sleeping in the sun where the light falls through Everything’s better now I’ve got you My strange little cat, my favourite surprise Here together forever, you and I 🐾
