I doubt you
Ever heard my voice
Amid the chorus of
Hatred and disgust
But i desire to bring hope to bear
Upon the fire of your deep despair
To you, i'm just a
Shadowy silhouette
Just a cat in a hat
With a lit cigarette
Singin a song
As i'm walking along
In your very very
Down town
But i need to talk to you
Before you make up your mind
Before you carry it through
No i don't think it's a good idea
To give into sadness, anger, fear
Just give me a chance
To convince you of
All the reasons to live
All the rasons to love
No, i won't leave you alone
Until the spring
I'll hang around
All winter long
All winter long
Black cat to anybody
Can you read me?
Anyone?
Is no one left?
A pine in the cold
Is proof enough
Holding it's own
Against a tide of snow
On night of ten below
Needles ever green
Because they're
Extraordinarily tough
They know that life is rough
It's prone to sadness
And uncertainty
Never very just
But you must
Keep loving, baby
Oh, it's the only way we
Can ever show that our souls
Are worth a damn
It's true
Take it from a soul survivor
I'm a symbol undecipherable
To contemporary minds
Strolling along this
Path less taken
To the rhythm and the beat
That my bloody pump's makin
These days i'm a figure
Lost in the fog
I'm a freaky fright
Just a scurvy dog
Singin a song
As i'm walking along
In a very very down town
But i want to talk to you
Before you make up your mind
Before you carry it through
No i don't think it's a good idea
To give into sadness, anger, fear
Just give me a chance
To convince you of
All the reasons to live
All the reasons to love
No, i wont' leave you alone
Until the spring
I'll hang around
All winter long
All winter long
