In the alley where the shadows crawl Stray cats gather and softly brawl Dreams weave through the midnight air Hoping for a hand that'll care Whiskers twitch as they sit and wait Moonlight painting their fates ornate Eyes gleam like the stars above Each heart whispering silent love In the moonlit council of paws We dream of homes with open doors Fantasy and illusion blend Where lonely nights might find an end Tales of kingdoms and soft warm beds Haunt our dreams and sleepy heads A collar with a name to hold A life less lonely less cold And in the depth of night skies bright One dreams of a world set right Felines chant their hopeful tune Underneath the silver moon In the moonlit council of paws We dream of homes with open doors Fantasy and illusion blend Where lonely nights might find an end
