Baby Lion

from Gorgeous Morning by Tanya Davis

/

about

A song about a friendship that was and then wasn't and then was. And a cat that was and then wasn't but always is.

lyrics

Baby lion

henry's dead
you laid him in his resting bed
you dug a grave i won't ever forget

this mother has been crying
since you broke the news of my baby lion
you broke the distance with your good timing

and he loved you
just like i do
little body that you found
said you thought of me when you laid him down
and now
you and henry
in my memory
will be, will be

on our busy corner
black kittens and friendships flourished
and we said how could we want more than this

a trip to the big city
had me and you drifting
and i wanted to fix things
but i didn't know how

trip to the country to save my soul
and i when i come home you came right over
oh my tender heart
for your precious part and your shoulder

if my little love was to leave then at least he lived here happy
and if we were to grow distant, bee, than at least he brought you back to me
