Bm          G             D
Dear uncle sold her into, into the
 A               G   D  A Bm
purest kind of slavery.
Bm                G          D
Hood-eyed little middlemen profited from
 A              G        D  A Bm
damaged goods along the way.
A             A                    G          A
Good angels brought her back to a last Nepal summer.
A         A                G            D
Debased, hollow-faced, a smile might become her.
Bm               G          D
Now she's cosied up, cosied up and
 A                G             D        A Bm
comforted in the warm flush of September.
A            A
Gone before winter.
A                A
Wondering as to might-have-beens.
A           A           Bb         A
Somebody's daughter in sanctuary, waiting.

Bm            G              D
Seen through softer case of kindness,
 A                G     D   A Bm
far and further still away,
Bm              G                     D
from time-warp Victorian zoos where staring
A    G         D  A Bm
ice cream gameboys play.
A          A               G       A
Big paws, word claws and swishing tails.
      A       A            G      D
More damaged goods in the market sails.
Bm            G           D
Too proud for anger, too late for
 A       G         D      A Bm
hate: resigned in dignity.
A            A
Gone before winter.
A        A
Purring might-have-beens.
A           A         Bb        A
Somebody's kitten in sanctuary, waiting.

Somebody near you in sanctuary, waiting.
