Track Insight / Lyrics
Fog rolls thick past iron door
Keeper's log stays closed once more
Thirty years I watched the beam
Now I walk in quiet dream
Slate roof gleams with autumn rain
Cat moves silent, moves with pain
Arched back on the ridgepole high
Yellow eyes cut through the sky
Black cat prowls the wet slate roof
Halloween night, the old roof proof
Pumpkin grin in window light
Witch wind howls through chimney tight
Black cat prowls the wet slate roof
Halloween night, the old roof proof
Candle stubs in brass holders burn
Pages of the logbook turn
Storm glass falling, pressure drops
Cat sits still, the blinking stops
Black cat prowls the wet slate roof
Halloween night, the old roof proof
Pumpkin grin in window light
Witch wind howls through chimney tight
Black cat prowls the wet slate roof
Halloween night, the old roof proof
Light rotates, sweeps the bay
Cat don't flinch, cat don't pray
Salt on whiskers, frost on fur
Something old begins to stir
Clock strikes one in tower town
Cat walks slow, don't make a sound
Down the gutter, past the lead
Vanishes
