Cat Heaven Lyrics
In the dream that awakened me
You had come and taken me
To a sea of stars, a cat stood in the flowers
Two ears above.
And the ground that was under me
Was holding me so wonderfully
On a bed of leaves, you were there with me
We were free.
Everything we saw
Was beautiful and strong
And I knew we belonged
Then the birds came and carried us
To the sky and buried us
On a bed of stars, where I was always yours
And you were mine.
And in the long, black eternity
I loved you so perfectly
On the words of clouds, like a bird sings to his flowers
And I was heard
Everything I saw
Was everything I want
And this world had just begun
To live!
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up!
I can't get up, from this.
Everyone was forgiving
Made hope for, made living
Made women, tonight
So captain please consider me
Let the boats deliver me
When I close my eyes...drive, captain, drive!
It's time.
For everything to be perfect
For everything to stop hurting
Tonight.
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up...
You had come and taken me
To a sea of stars, a cat stood in the flowers
Two ears above.
And the ground that was under me
Was holding me so wonderfully
On a bed of leaves, you were there with me
We were free.
Was beautiful and strong
And I knew we belonged
To the sky and buried us
On a bed of stars, where I was always yours
And you were mine.
And in the long, black eternity
I loved you so perfectly
On the words of clouds, like a bird sings to his flowers
And I was heard
Was everything I want
And this world had just begun
To live!
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up!
I can't get up, from this.
Made hope for, made living
Made women, tonight
Let the boats deliver me
When I close my eyes...drive, captain, drive!
It's time.
For everything to be perfect
For everything to stop hurting
Tonight.
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up...

To the sky and buried us
To the sky and MARRIED us
On the words of clouds
IN the words of clouds
get up
WAKE up
Made women, tonight
Made WINNING, tonight.
There is no 5.
Good song. I think it's a dream about a perfect relationship in a perfect setting, although the "for everything to stop hurting" line throws me off. Maybe he can't get the girl, or lost the girl. A lot of other JTB songs are about that sort of thing, so I suppose it fits.
It's about a dream. He's having an amazing dream, and he never wants to wake up in reality, because he can't have the person that he wants. That's what the "for everything to stop hurting" line is about. He wants to keep sleeping, because everything is beautiful when he's sleeping, but when he's awake, it's just pain.

Blake: Well, it was an actual dream I had up in Nova Scotia. My cat had died the year before, so it was kind of a medley of melancholy... dreams that incorporate the cat but also a lost love. And the idea of this reward in heaven, that in my waking life doesn't seem to be there. It was just kind of like a really sad utopian dream where you have everything you want and then you wake up and it's not there.
beautiful.
this song is absolutely beautiful. the imagery, the metaphors, it's absolutely amazing. "Then the birds came and carried us to the sky and buried us On a bed of stars, where I was always yours And you were mine." lovely.
Beautiful indeed emojustin! I'm speechless, this song not only captures the imagination but it also paints a picture of perfect love. If this is just a dream i wouldn't want to wake up either!
Correction:
I can't get up from this... is -> I can't wake up from this.
I just thought I'd point that out.
I love this song. My favorite part is that : So captain please consider me Let the boats deliver me When I close my eyes...drive, captain, drive! It's time. For everything to be perfect For everything to stop hurting Tonight.
so good.
gives me a tear or two....
I think he lost her. And now he has this dream and doesn't want to wake up 'cause reality isn't this nice. I believe it's like this although I read that he said this song is really about his cat that died. He must have been joking... Great song anyway.
This song is so pretty, it makes me remember when my cat died. I cried the first time i listened to it!
it feels like coming to life. it's living, it's freedom, it's breathing fresh air. it's perfect.
