Mellow

Rockport, Maine

Sarah Bullitt lost a beloved feline friend, but then again, maybe not. There may be a spiritual bond that's greater than death.

Lyrics

I had a black, long haired cat
With enormous soulful eyes
He was my soul friend
I called him Mellow

He could walk up a wall
He’d leap up on the trees
He was my soul friend
I called him Mellow

One weekend I went away
When I came home he was gone
He was my soul friend
I called him Mellow

Calling his name through the woods
Through the paths by my house
Sitting under a tree and asking
Wailing, Where is Mellow?

A month later at dusk
I looked down to the floor
There was my soul friend
It was Mellow

He spoke without words
Don’t worry about me
There was my soul friend
It was Mellow

Calling his name through the woods
Through the paths by my house
Sitting under a tree and asking
Wailing, Where is Mellow?

He said, I love you
And then he disappeared
He was my soul friend
I called him Mellow
