Douglas Closson: Lyrics

Two hundred days since you’ve blackened my doorstep
in town with another man
Thinking that you’ve got the answers and the plan
Then you come back to me crying saying now you know the way
And you think I’ll fool enough to play your games

You let the cat go you let me go
You left the strays out in the cold
Then you’ve got the nerve to come here asking
If there’s room for you in my home

You let the cat go you let me go
You left the strays out in the cold
On some cold, dark night when there are no lights
Then you’ll learn what I know

Now many I’ve looked into my heart and many times I’ve had to look away
But now I’m trying to be true to myself
And the place where you’ve put me lady has open up my eyes
Won’t be your fool again drinking in your lies

You let the cat go you let me go
You left the strays out in the cold
Then you’ve got the nerve to come here asking
If there’s room for you in my home

I just want you know that you were looking for a rainbow
That was in your hands all along if you taken a look
There’s nothing I can do to change what you’ve been in my life
And not a word would rewrite in your life’s book

You let the cat go you let me go
You left the strays out in the cold
Then you’ve got the nerve to come here asking
If there’s room for you in my home
