You used to be the king of the house
How could you spend hours in the sun to drowse?
Even when at night you went singing meows
Fearless knight, now you lie under the rose
How strong were you, fighting with claws and the rest!
How could you leave us to fend in the tempest?
My heart went with you the day you left
Leaving my soul of all emotions bereft
Misty times behind
Rainy times ahead
Sunny times evade
Foggy times remain
Is there a heaven for you where you went?
Will we meet again when I, too, am spent?
Hope squeezes my throat as I pay the rent
But on the pillow I dream I still catch your scent
Misty times behind
Rainy times ahead
Sunny times evade
Foggy times remain
