A Cat Caught in a Tree

I'm in love with a dark haired boy

Thinks he's got no right to joy

Says he's cursed by the blood he's born to

But he's alright with me

I see him walking late at night

A cigarette and he steps so slowly

In a filed he was all alone

And he looked something like a dream

If a dream could be, trapped upon the earth

A cat caught in a tree

The stars were bright on a bitter night

Stepped in the graveyard and I didn't mind

Dancing slow in the backyard of a stranger and I felt at ease

It's been long awaited but I've come to peace

I used to walk like a dog wandering the streets but

Every dog will have their every day or a moment in the sun

What will we do when our day has come

A bow on a string, a story ending, I didn't hurt anyone

I'm in love with a dark haired boy

Thinks he's got no right to joy

Says he's cursed by the blood he's born to

But he's alright with me
