The Dog, The Cat, & The Mirror

The Dog, The Cat, and the Mirror
copywrite: Donald M. Nivens Jr.

It’s been years, since I walked these streets alone
Drowning in my sorrow, how could I make it on my own
Your patience slips away, you want to meet someone tomorrow
Someone like you, no one else could make a stand

Ooh now I walk these streets alone, never worried about tomorrow
Never riding on a sinking ship in the tail wind of a storm
I look down deep inside, I find a different part of me
That’s where I’ll find a wiser one that won’t abandon me
In the eye of the storm
I thought I was leaving, but I was already gone
I thought I was restless, but then I found I was calm
The man is well seasoned, not caught in the eye of a storm
And that’s where the heart ache ends and the loving starts.

Every time I’m feeling lonely, I pick up my Guitar
The Dog and the Cat and the Mirror hear me play
So don’t be forsaken, yesterday is dead and gone
It won’t come this way again until your fears have rambled on

Ooh now I walk these streets alone, never worried about tomorrow
Never riding on a sinking ship in the tail wind of a storm
I look down deep inside, I find a different part of me
That’s where I’ll find a wiser one that won’t abandon me
In the eye of the, in the eye of the storm
I thought I was leaving, but I was already gone
I thought I was restless, but then I found I was calm
The man is well seasoned, not caught in the eye of a storm
And that’s where the heart ache ends and the loving starts.

Now I get down on my knees and I beg for mercy,
When I find that all those foolish things are gone
I’m giving it all I got and you know it aint easy
When will I finally find the strength to carry on
On a cold day in hell

I thought I was leaving, but I was already gone
And that’s where the heart ache ends
That’s where the heart ache ends, and the loving starts
