lyrics

Lying on this old bench.
it's a cold, harsh rainy day.
Branches bend in the wind,
thunder, rumbling away

Raindrops falling on me,
hale piles up on the dirt.
I lay on my side,
here, in this tiny park

A kitten scruffy and gray,
scrambling from under the bench.
He cares not for the rain,
he cares not for the hale

He found a small patch of sun
surrounded by puddles and mud.
He's playing with flying dead leaves,
and washes his gleaming gray fur

I look at the little gray cat,
I think of nothing at all.
Now just me on this bench,
looking at a little gray cat

Maybe, there was some light
deep in my murky old eyes.
Maybe, I even smiled
before my very last breath

I reach out to the cat,
my hand passes right through.
I fade into the mist,
the cat continues to play
