The Kitten and the Widowmaker Lyrics & Tabs by Tad Dreis
The Kitten and the Widowmaker
guitar chords lyrics
Two tree trunks were standing
And holding another
Whose roots had been weakened
And could not stand itself
It lay there across them
In a kind of a cradle
And would have just fallen
Except for their help
And a kitten was crying
On the widowmaker
It could have climbed down
Just had to begin
So I reached up to it
My hands made a net
And slowly, to safety
So I reached up to it
My hands made a net
And slowly, to safety
It walked down that limb
And I held it to me
And I felt its heart
Beat like a bumblebee
Caught in a jar
And the kitten ran away
Back into the woods
No jingle of a collar
No calls to come home
And I leaned on the tree trunk
And smiled at its burden
It never could have gotten
That big on its own
