Little tomcat, stay close to me
Cuz there are clouds on the horizon
And a chill on the breeze


We're alone here, but don't you be scared
I've got a calloused hand, a farmer's tan

And I'm happy to share

You and I, will both get by

Just promise you won't stray

All that I need is some dirt and a seed

And I will feed you till the summer blows away

Little tomcat, don't be afraid

When there's a stirring in the meadow
Or a noise in the shade


I'll defend you and lead you from harm
If you should find yourself peril
I will guard you in my arms


I've seen people come and depart
With every one, there's a start, and there's an end


I'm sick, and tired, of failed desire
What I need is really just a friend


Little tomcat, don't let me down
Cuz I have spent so long forsaken

In this lonely old town

You don't judge me, or tell me I'm wrong

If you will take me as I am,
Then I will take you along
