Lyrics:

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
And they went to Heaven
They went to Heaven
