"The Stray Cats of Athens"

I have studied the stray cats of Athens
For some lesson in loneliness that they might give
I have studied the stray cats of Athens
But my findings were inconclusive

I’ve pored over the beer halls of Belgium
In the hopes that I’d find there some joy that I’ve missed
I drank 'til they refused to sell them
But my results were all jumbled at best

I have researched the rivers of Paris
To see if they felt sorrow to be lost in the sea
When I saw my reflection there staring
The river ran and it left me with me

So I studied the stray cats of Athens
And found that if I was gentle and kind
They could unlearn their reclusive habits
Even the saddest of strays can find love in this life
