lyrics

Black Cat

I was walking home at midnight
Through the darkness and the gloom
There was no comfort in the street lights
No beauty in the moon

Then he stepped out of the shadows
And he stared into my soul
And he asked without a question
Won’t you let me share your road

We walked on for a while
Tears masked now by the rain
And I saw the moon return
And found the beauty once again

Something new and yet familiar
Walking silent by my side
With his coat of deepest black
And his gleaming, soulful eyes

These things come and go just like the weather
It’s just another mile down the road
Through the darkness and the rain
I will find myself again
‘Cause that black cat’s always there to guide me home

And those days they are the hardest
When the black dog comes to call
You’ve locked the doors and windows
But it’s scratching through the walls

And it seems there is no good there
Just an overwhelming fear
One that’s tightening your chest
And that brings you close to tears

It’s on those days that you struggle
You should open up your eyes
Hold on tightly to your soul
Try to follow its advice

Find one thing that makes you smile
And then count up from there
Seek the beauty in the small things
And let yourself repair

These things come and go just like the weather
It’s just another mile down the road
Through the darkness and the rain
You will find yourself again
‘Cause that black cat’s always there to guide you home

Through the darkness and the pain
There’s a soul that still remains
And there’s a black cat always there to guide it home

Lyrics: Jess Silk

Bio

Jess Silk is a guitarist, singer and songwriter from the Black Country. Her shouty but melodic brand of folk/punk music often has her being likened to a female Frank Turner or Billy Bragg, and it gets people sitting up and listening. Armed only with an increasingly sticker-covered acoustic guitar and a distinctive, gravely voice that many don’t expect, Jess plays to audiences up and down the UK.
