A DOOR INTO SUMMER lyrics

my cat woke me up from a long winter's nap
by yowling in my face while sitting on my lap
the temperature outside was 13 below
and every tree and fence was covered with snow

he told me quite clearly that he was quite mad
that the situation was not what he expected to have
he made me go round and open every door
cause that was the only thing that I was good for

and as he looked out and rejected each op
I begged him to understand I begged him to stop
but he still ignored what was the simple truth
and he still insisted despite every proof

a door into summer
there's got to be
a door into summer
I got to see
a door into summer
before I die
a door into summer

all day complaining and all night upset
it was even worse than going to the vet
he bitched and he moaned and refused to use the box
and even all the windows he forced me to unlock

a door into summer
there's got to be
a door into summer
don't do this to me
a door into summer
set me free
a door into summer

there was a year when I had full of bliss
every day she woke me with a kiss
seemed like the sun was shining every day
and all the love was not needed to say

the nights were warm and full to the brim
I didn't know the state I was in
my heart was overflowing with peace
I never thought such joy could ever cease

but winter comes as it must to us all
after the ever changing fall
she said it's the end and that was that
and left me all alone with the cat

a door into summer
there's got to be
a door into summer
my memory
a door into summer
all I need's
a door into summer

This is one of your best! Especially when you segue into why she left you. And you're right, a cat has a short life and may not even make it into the next summer, just like that love. I have found that after Christmas, winter is hardest on relationships.

Interesting! I love cats and it's good that you are writing a song about your cat.

When I first began writing poetry I wrote a poem about my cat, Freddy (the first cat I've ever owned in Canada), one group of people took my poem and made a song out of it. It was fun to see they had so much enthusiasm about my poem.
