The vet said Sully had reached the end of his life
She helped him pass on, I buried him in the garden.

Before it came to that, I had been sitting outside
Sully had his favourite place, he was dying and he was smiling
I said to him that if he had to go, it'd be nice if he came back

A while after it rained - not the light and gentle feeding of grass
This was a deluge that caused people to stand and stare in wonder
That so much water could ever have stayed up in the first place.
Thunder shook the foundations of the world, sky was ripped apart

In the road outside a kitten appeared, walking in circles
Jack from down the street brought him to me
I called him Sully McNimbus.

When Sully McNimbus was run over, the vet did the same
And again, Jack brought a kitten found outside, walking in circles
A girlcat, I looked into her eyes.
It had been raining
I call her Storma
