Lyrics
Cat's a-sleeping in the sun,
Cat peacefully rests in the sunlight.
Eyes take heed the colours call.
Eyes are attentive to the vibrant colors around.
Sunlight patterns touch the wall,
Sunlight creates patterns on the wall.
Red kerchiefs sail and fall,
Red kerchiefs flutter and descend.
Cat's a sleeping in the sun.
The cat continues to enjoy the sun.
Dragon kite in the sky,
A dragon kite soars in the sky.
Wheel and turns, spin and fly,
The wheel turns, spins, and flies.
Attacked by rooks and never fail
Rooks attack the kite but never succeed, symbolizing resilience.
To cry the sound of fairy tales.
Fairy tales evoke a sound, possibly of nostalgia or whimsy.
The cat is walkin' in the sun.
The cat takes a leisurely walk in the sunlight.
All the pebbles I have seen,
Pebbles observed, perhaps metaphorical for life experiences.
Precious stones for Colleen.
Precious stones associated with someone named Colleen.
Every minute I pass through
Every minute spent with someone special.
With the grooves spent with you.
Grooves symbolize shared experiences with the person.
The cat is yawning in the sun.
The cat yawns, indicating relaxation and contentment.
Jewelled castles I have built
Imaginary castles built with feelings of guilt.
With freak feelings of guilt.
Freakish emotions associated with the constructed castles.
And the words stab to the hilt,
Words are piercing and deeply affecting.
Pick the flower and it will wilt,
Picking a flower leads to its inevitable demise.
Cat's a-shifting in the sun.
The cat adjusts its position in the sun.
Marionette dangles death
A marionette symbolizes manipulated and controlled existence.
Insensitivity is fed.
Insensitivity is nourished and thrives.
By the TV wizard's wand
The TV wizard's wand casts a spell of deception.
Once in the spell you're conned,
Once ensnared, one is conned by the spell.
Cat's a-smiling in the sun.
The cat smiles in the sun, suggesting happiness.
Cat's a-smiling in the sun,
Repetition of the cat smiling, emphasizing joy.
Eyes take heed the colours call.
Eyes are again captivated by the colors.
Sunlight patterns touch the wall,
Sunlight patterns persist on the wall.
Red kerchiefs sail and fall,
Red kerchiefs continue their graceful descent.
Cat's a-smiling in to me.
The cat's smile extends towards the speaker.
