The Cat with the Silvery Paws

Roads, these roads are clad in smoke

Your talks are drifting past like trains - they scarcely stop

Now I'm gone astray in here

Where tired walls are chattering:: Don't stay! Don't stay!... and all the ones around me are fainting shapes againFear has shut away your dreams

You walk towards a smokescreen, fretful toolI start to sing a song about the cat with the silvery paws

She plays with starry blades of grass and dreams her little life away

I wonder where I am - under the snow in a sunday cloak

But you just say I'd think too much

Maybe you're right - who will ever know?
