[start] [Intro: Gentle banjo picking and soft foot-stomp rhythm] [Instrumental: Acoustic guitar, mandolin] [Verse] The kettle hums in the quiet room Sun creeps through the morning gloom But there's no weight upon my bed Just empty sheets where you laid your head [Chorus] I miss my cat, I miss your sound Your little feet, your leaps and bounds You were my partner, a real good friend Now there is only rain here at the end Oh, I miss my cat again [Verse] I walked the path past the garden gate You'd chase the wind, you’d lie in wait By the fire or the windowsill You made the world feel calm and still [Chorus] I miss my cat, those yellow eyes Like ancient stars in winter skies You were my laughter, my morning light Now every dawn just don't feel right Oh, I miss my cat tonight [Bridge: Instrumental swell – stomps, harmonies, and fiddle rise] [Instrumental: Banjo leads over percussive build, harmonized “oh-oh-oh”s] And I still hear you... In the creak of the floor, in the rustle of leaves In the hush of the house when I try to breathe [Chorus] I miss my cat, my little friend The kind of love that never end You were a hunter, calm and fat remember when you brought me rat Yes, I miss you my lovely cat Yes, I miss you my lovely cat Yes, I miss you my lovely cat [Outro: Slow fade with fingerpicked guitar and vocal hums] (Hmmmmm... where you used to sleep...) [end]
