| Mouse |

What happened on that day back in May?
When the mouse freed himself from the cat's paw?
Tell me the story and down we will lay
As I hear about all that you saw

What happened on that day back in May?
Did the mouse run til he couldn't no more?
Did he put down his roots where the cat couldn't play?
Finally find somewhere safe by the shore?

What happened on that day back in May?
He escaped he escaped he escaped he esca-
Decided that here is where he should stay
Everything's different here, everything's changed

One day, the mouse says, he'll forget it all
And nothing he'll run from, nothing at all

| The First Crack |

You are the first crack in the ice
That holds me above the water
The first change in unchanging eternity

The first tap on the glass
That I look out on the world through
A tap that asks eternity to end

When I fall into the water
When the glass shatters
There is your smile
And there is life
