lyrics

Have you met my friend, the alley cat?
She’s ran these streets for years,
And everyone knows that.
With a glance of love, she’s bound to flee.
Everyone sees her scars, but she’s beautiful to me.

It’s just a dream to get this cat inside.
To see her see your life, to see her eyes open wide.
But just like a dream, she fades away.
Except she wakes up first, just to hang in the alley all day.

Have you met my friend, the alley cat?
She's ran these streets for years, and everyone knows that.
With a glance of love, she's bound to flee.
It’s tough to see past her scars but,
She's beautiful to me.
