Track Insight / Lyrics
Wisteria vines droop, latticing the columns
Cicadas serenade the humid air
My kibble bowl empty, a saucer of cream
Whiskers twitching at every whisper passing by
I see the world through these bayou cat eyes
Wild and untamed, yet tender, too
Moonlight paints the water, this night is dying
I'll keep my watch, my vigilant sway
Oh, lonesome vigil on the cypress swing
Guarding treasures, ancient mysteries I cannot sing
By the water's murmuring song, and phantom summer breeze
I'll keep my secrets hidden, under cypress tree
Cypress knees poking up, half-submerged in silt
Spanish moss swaying gently, waltzing in the mist
Night blooming jasmine perfume, carried on the night air
The world's secrets whispered, but I'll keep them ware
I see the world through these bayou cat eyes
Wild and untamed, yet tender, too
Moonlight paints the water, this night is dying
I'll keep my watch, my vigilant sway
Oh, lonesome vigil on the cypress swing
Guarding treasures, ancient mysteries I cannot sing
By the water's murmuring song, and phantom summer breeze
I'll keep my secrets hidden, under cypress tree
In the darkness I dream of geckos and snakes
Toads and fireflies in a gamelike trade
While the bayou hums its siren lullaby
Guarding the night, as I sleep in the sky
Oh, lonesome vigil on the cypress swing
Guarding treasures, ancient mysteries I cannot sing
By the water's murmuring song, and phantom summer breeze
I'll keep my secrets hidden, under cypress tree
I'll rise with the sun, but tonight is mine
Under the stars, where shadows and light intertwine
Impossible dreams dance, whispers fade away
And I'll curl up tight, as the night slips away
