Cat In the Corner

by Tempest

on Turn Of The Wheel (1996)

Well the cat is in the barn, the booze is in the brain
The evil's in the woman, I am lost in the rain
Night's coming on I need a place to stay
Squat in a barn, Crash in the hay

The storm is arisin' I am left behind
I cannae see the moon, I've got whiskey on my mind
Please let me in, it is you who I adore
Open the gate, let me in once more

Chorus:
Darlin', darlin' let me in!
Darlin', darlin' let me in!

The candle's burnin' down, the hour's getting late
I've got no time for tae hang around and wait
Peek through the window, drink the last drop
I squeeze the bottle, and my time is up

Oh, the first time I saw you, I think you ran away
The second time we met up, you led me astray
Please let me in it is you who I adore
Open the gate, let me in one more

Chorus

So fare-the-well, a thousand times adieu
I'm about to cross the ocean, far away from you
Night begins to die, mornin' brings release
I travel as I wish, settle as I please

The cat is in the barn, the booze is in the brain
The evil's in the woman, I am lost in the rain
Night's coming on, I need a place to stay
Squat in a barn, Crash in the hay

Chorus (Oh!)

Darlin', darlin' let me in! (Oh!)
Darlin', darlin' let me in! (Yeah!)

Darlin', darlin' let me in! (Oh!)
Darlin', darlin' let me in!
