How We Spend Our Days

They say I'm old, I guess it's true
They say I'm old and the same goes for you
Yet there's air in our lungs
And a light that twinkles in our eyes

You sleep all day, sometimes I do too
You sleep all day but keep me up all night
When the fire's gone out
You come and lay yourself down
Come and curl up with your black fur
And your paws so white
I think we're alright
I think we're alright

Are you dreaming Tom, cause you're making a fuss
Are you dreaming Tom, was the dream about us
Were we running around the house
Enjoying the sun, like we'd just begun
Now tell me, did you catch the mouse

Is your body sore, a bit like mine
Is your body sore and does it get worse over time
In the wintertime, by the fireplace
You got your milk and I'll have a slice of bread
I pack my pipe and that is that
It's how we spend our days
It's how we spend our days

Are you dreaming Tom, cause you're making a fuss
Are you dreaming Tom, was the dream about us
Were we running around the house
Enjoying the sun, like we'd just begun
Now tell me, did you catch the mouse
Tell me did you catch the mouse
Did you catch it
