Lady Gone

There’s a pinstripe cat, with a Siamese hat.
Nippin’ at my tongue, and everyone just laughed.
There’s a lady gone, with the sunset eyes.
Pulling tricks of love from the devil’s mind.
She’s a mocking bird, but only knows to hum.
Me a humming bird, for mocking everyone
There’s a big, big world, with a small. small heart
And a lady gone, I never did my part.
To keep her safe and young.
And now look what I have done.
The world’s a lady gone, but got one more crooked song.
But who needs one?

If you hear her breathe, in the violin.
When the night gets black, but brighter than it’s been
For a long, long time, tell her how I’ve been.
It’s a stranger life, when you live again.
