Cat's a-sleeping in the sun Eyes take heed the colours call Sunlight patterns touch the wall Red kerchiefs sail and fall Cat's a sleeping in the sun Dragon kite in the sky Wheel and turns spin and fly Attacked by rooks and never fail To cry the sound of fairy tales The cat is walkin' in the sun All the pebbles I have seen Precious stones for Colleen Every minute I pass through With the grooves spent with you The cat is yawning in the sun Jewelled castles I have built With freak feelings of guilt And the words stab to the hilt Pick the flower and it will wilt Cat's a-shifting in the sun Marionette dangles death Insensitivity is fed By the TV wizard's wand Once in the spell you're conned Cat's a-smiling in the sun Cat's a-smiling in the sun Eyes take heed the colours call Sunlight patterns touch the wall Red kerchiefs sail and fall Cat's a-smiling in to me
