All Your Own
We had a big bruiser of a cat that escaped one day and was just gone. We later discovered that he had been living under the downstairs porch for months. He was living large, keeping the neighborhood bird and squirrel population in check. We found him after a losing battle with a car but I’m pretty sure he went out swinging.
All Your Own
You lived under my house for such a long time
That I fear you’d forgotten what it was really like to love
But I guess you liked it best that way or else you simple liked to stay
Everybody I knew prayed that someday you’d come back
They say that it’s not that hard to come back
I say it’s not that hard to go
Spinning so silently into infinity
Lost in a world all you own
I see everything begin, and I think of where I’ve been
Things that I seen along the way
The thing I think I’ve learned is that everything returns
Everything connects me to the road that always leads me back to you
(Repeat chorus x2)
On the day you finally died, I looked into your eyes
You reached through time and space, as if you were trying to say
Everybody goes their own road, everybody goes their own road,
Everybody goes their own road
