Little tomcat, stay close to me
'Cause there are clouds on the horizon and a chill on the breeze
We're alone now, don't you be scared
I've got a callused 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 'til 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 in peril, I will guard you in my arms
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 'til the summer blows away
I've seen people come and depart
With everyone there's a start and there's an end
I'm sick and tired of failed desire
What I really need is just a friend
Little tomcat, don't let me down
'Cause I have spent so long forsaken in this lonely old town
You don't judge or tell me I'm wrong
If you will take me as I am, then I will take you along
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 'til the summer blows away
All that I need is some dirt and a seed
And I will feed you 'til the summer blows away
