The Man Who Drew Cats

from Broken Rainbow by no:carrier

/

lyrics

A lonely boy walking through the streets
London wrapped in mist
Didn’t go to school but learned to teach
His pen revealing the gist

My name is Louis he said in a calm
Staring at the door
But having to care for the family
Was a task he wasn’t made for

The cats got published everywhere
But on returning home
He didn’t take the time to care
The money nearly gone

It seemed to make you happy
Thoughts were very clear
While drawing cats in a landscape
You could overcome your fear

But were you really crazy
As doctors and your sisters said
Or were the cats just prisoners
Forever captured in your head

The untimely death of his beloved wife
After just three years
The strain of providing the family bread
Eyes filled with tears

His mind wandered more and more
To places no one can say
His temper got worse, what could they do
They helped to lock him away

Discovered in darkness of ambit and mind
Moved to Bethlem Park
Living a life in quiet and peace
Still drawing cat after cat

It seemed to make you happy
Thoughts were very clear
While drawing cats in a landscape
You could overcome your fear

But were you really crazy
As doctors and your sisters said
Or were the cats just prisoners
Forever captured in your head

I like drawing cats
Cats in a cradle
Cats having fun
And cats at the table

Cats playing golf
Cats lying around
Cats hunting mice
Cats white and brown

Cats and their friends
At a barbecue
Cats doing things
Just like me and you
