Black Cat

I was walking home at midnight

Through the darkness and the gloom

There was no comfort in the street lights

No beauty in the moon

Then he stepped out of the shadows

And he stared into my soul

And he asked without a question

Won't you let me share your road

We walked on for a while

Tears masked now by the rain

And I saw the moon return

And found the beauty once again

Something new and yet familiar

Walking silent by my side

With his coat of deepest black

And his gleaming, soulful eyes

These things come and go just like the weather

It's just another mile down the road

Through the darkness and the rain

I will find myself again

'Cause that black cat's always there to guide me home

And those days they are the hardest

When the black dog comes to call

You've locked the doors and windows

But it's scratching through the walls

And it seems there is no good there

Just an overwhelming fear

One that's tightening your chest

And that brings you close to tears

It's on those days that you struggle

You should open up your eyes

Hold on tightly to your soul

Try to follow its advice

Find one thing that makes you smile

And then count up from there

Find the beauty in the small things

And let yourself repair

These things come and go just like the weather

It's just another mile down the road

Through the darkness and the rain

You will find yourself again

'Cause that black cat's always there to guide you home

Through the darkness and the pain

There's a soul that still remains

And there's a black cat always there to guide it home
