Track Insight / Lyrics
You step on wet Polytrichum crown
Raindrops shake the Sphagnum down
Your claws click rhythm on the stone
Felis catus claims the zone
Black cat walks the slate tonight
October rain and yew tree height
Petrichor rises where you tread
Silent paws on mossy bed
Black cat walks the slate tonight
You sniff the Taxus baccata cone
Poison berries, seeds unknown
Your whiskers test the damp night air
Lycopodium spores drift everywhere
Black cat walks the slate tonight
October rain and yew tree height
Petrichor rises where you tread
Silent paws on mossy bed
Black cat walks the slate tonight
You pause where Sedum acre grows
Biting stonecrop, bitter dose
The slate is cold, the sky is steel
You hunt the mouse you cannot feel
Black cat walks the slate tonight
October rain and yew tree height
Petrichor rises where you tread
Silent paws on mossy bed
Black cat walks the slate tonight
Clouds obscure the hunter's moon
Marchantia cups the rain's boon
No witch, no phantom, no spirit call
Just life that clings to roof and wall
You leap to chimney pot of brick
Your tail a pendulum, steady, quick
The city sleeps, the plants keep watch
Felis catus owns the notch
Black cat walks the slate tonight
October rain and yew tree height
Petrichor rises where you tread
Silent paws on mossy bed
Black cat walks the slate tonight
Wet slate gleams at dawn's first light
Black cat gone, but moss holds tight
