Waiting by the Window

You're waiting by the window light

My little friend with eyes so bright

I say goodbye, you tilt your head

I close the door, my heart like lead

I wish that I could stay with you

Instead of doing what I have to do

The clock ticks on, I walk away

I miss you more with every day

Little cat by the window

Watching as I go

Through every morning, every shadow

More than you could know

You wait for me, so true

I leave your bowl untouched and neat

My silent friend, curled on the seat

My jacket carries your tiny hair

Your little world, and I'm not there

I work all day with you in mind

In every thought, we're intertwined

I'm sorry for the time we lose

In a life I didn't choose

Little cat by the window

Watching as I go

Through every morning, every shadow

More than you could know

You wait for me, so true

If love alone could pay the bills

I'd stay right here, time standing still

But until then, hold on, my dear

My heart stays home when I'm not near

Little cat by the window

My little soul, so true

Through every heartbeat, every echo

I'm coming home to you
