Tad Dreis - The Kitten And The Windowmaker 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 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
