Lyrics

[Verse]
Whiskers graying, eyes losing that gleam,
Once king of nine lives, now caught in between,
Used to stalk shadows, now barely can dream,
Clinging to echoes of memories and cream.

[Verse 2]
Used to be swift, natural-born hunter,
Now the stairs feel like the final frontier,
Roaring purrs turned whispers under,
The laughter fades, replaced by tear.

[Chorus]
Night falls, time's claws grip tighter,
Paws slipping softly, heart lighter,
Lay this cat down in sacred slumber,
In the wind, soft meows linger.

[Verse 3]
Memory of yarn, chasing endless fun,
Rest easy, old friend, the race has been run,
Sunkissed naps, underneath the sun,
Let these last purrs be a peaceful hum.

[Bridge]
Cracked leather collar, name tag barely ledge,
Struggle's getting harder, standing on the edge,
Golden years dim, like sunset at the hedge,
Final nap forever, sweet dreams pledge.

[Verse 4]
Feeding bowl echoes, once a joyful clang,
Muffled goodbyes with every heartbeat's pang,
In every cozy corner, your essence hang,
Gone but remembered in every song I sang.
