BARN CAT

I think of you in the spring

In the grass with your face lit up

Taking in what you can't take home

I build sentences on string

Working out what they mean to me

Gripping until they flee

Like a barn cat in the rain in the summer

Hide away in the loft when it's pouring down

Maine coon in the guise of another

Slipping moment that you can't hold down

The vision's sticking with me

Check yourself in the window glass

Taking in what you can't take back

Hold my fist up to a tree

Would it hurt if I threw a punch?

Flash flood has it come and gone?

Like a barn cat in the rain in the summer

Hide away in the loft when it's pouring down

Maine coon in the guise of another

Slipping moment that you can't hold down

Will this come to pass?

Does anything last?

Catch a glimpse of you in the window glass

Did I speak too soon?

Did I kneel too fast?

When I whispered truth, did I scare you?

Like a barn cat in the rain in the summer

Hide away in the loft when it's pouring down

Maine coon in the guise of another

Slipping moment that you can't hold down
