Track Insight / Lyrics
Lost in ancient stone and time
City whispers secrets to the night
Stone-walled yawns of quiet fade
To you, the finder in its shade
In contrarian contrast to cement grey
You slumber, whiskers twitching, day by day
A fleeting exile from cathedrals high
Your coat of mottled warm sunset hue, so nigh
To scrawny street cats in cardboard nests
You're princess of the cobblestones' best
No scavenged scraps for you, just diced
This sacred square, your daytime hideaway
La bella vita to you it seems
When others lock their doors and dream
But your purpose is to stand and wait
A guardian of forgotten places great
Oh cat's eye in the rubble's space
Cherishing the city's secret face
In the ancient stones your story's kept
The heartbeat of a sleeping town asleep
No clamor of the cafes fills the air
You walk these paths, your paws without a care
From Piazza de Spagna to the Fountain of Truth
You're Rome's unofficial, feral youth
The tungsten glow of shopfronts bright and bold
Eclipse your emerald gaze, but you hold
A city not your own as your domain
Prowling shadows, king of this stone domain
Oh cat's eye in the rubble's space
Cherishing the city's secret face
In the ancient stones your story's kept
The heartbeat of a sleeping town asleep
Dusk arrives, luring life to the streets
Cafes spill their patrons, steaming treats
Laughter mingling with espresso's zest
You slip inside the alleys, take your rest
Oh cat's eye in the rubble's space
Cherishing the city's secret face
In the ancient stones your story's kept
The heartbeat of a sleeping town asleep
Morning lights your way to roam
The silence of the night back to your home
In Rome's heart, where history's etched
Your tale of love for forgotten streets
