about

What if your loved one died? Well Jimi would rely on cats.

lyrics

I Am Here

I thought I heard a noise in the cutlery drawer

When I was looking for a corkscrew

I felt a warmth beside me on the couch as I lay down

But it was just the new little kitten

I could hear her voice reminding me to take out the recycling

It took two trips because of all that wine

I could say I felt her hand on mine as I began to sleep

But she’s gone, I have the urn, on the shelf to remind me

CHORUS

I don’t believe in the afterlife

In heaven or a god or the saints

I don’t believe she is watching over me

I just know that I’m here but she ain’t

I can touch these things around the house that she once held in her hand

In fact I did last night

I wear my grief like a blanket that she crocheted

I only let the cats pass beyond

Out here you can go all day without talking

To another person but I think it’s okay

To say I miss you and your breath by my side

You would love that the kitten licked the tears when I cried

CHORUS
