The day you see a cat lurking in the quiet alley
Leave a bowl of milk outside
Coax her gently through your door
Spare a comfy place at the hearth
The day she comes
She will scratch up your house
Leave marks to remember her with
Because marks can never been covered up
She will sleep in your bed
And leave her scent
And no matter how hard you try to wash those sheets
You will never forget that smell
She will lay her head on you
And you will hold her for as long as you can
For one day
She'll slip away
In the dead of the night
And you will never forget her.
