I knew a woman once giving birth to kittens and mice And the kittens were born full of their brothers and sisters
And they were punished swiftly though they didn´t know why
They thought they were food they did not know what they´d done
And I was a person once sending off unread letters receiving no reply never bothering asking why I had a heart once full of fire and passion but the summer took it away from me
And autumn has come to retrieve it
And I was a man once When I was six-years-old
but now I am just a boy pretentious and brash and bold The kittens were murdered thrown into burlap sacks and weighted down with rocks in a river deep and black
