"Little Green Eyes" - - A very sad filk song that haunts my mind from time to time.

Words: Mercedes Lackey, Music: Kathy Mar

Silent City, silent ruin stands alone. nothing left there but a wall piled stone on stone. and beneath it, where the cellar used to be lies a hidden sheltered place no one can see. From that rubble two green eyes appear and blink, and a tabby cat steps timid through a chink.

In the twilight, in the silent evening gloom, Tabby shadow runs with joy from room to room. here his chair and there his bowl, and all the rest, and his people, all the ones that he loves best. with a tiny cry of bliss he greets them there. was it magic brought them back to him again?

(re) Little Green Eyes, is it hunger makes you see, all the walls now where your old home used to be? Little Green Eyes, is it cold that clouds your sight so the phantom fills with sound and warmth and light? Little Green Eyes is it loneliness at last makes you build once more this vision of the past.
