歌词
The ghosts of dogs past gather around my front stoop
Begging the question, "will you let us back in?"
I'm pacing the hallways of my house
Listening for the echoing sound
Of where the bark's once been
Sometimes the dogs disappear but I know they're still here
On the altar in the corner of my mind
Where I keep all the faces of the people I've lost
And they follow me with their eyes
And they'll be there til the end of my life
But when my body goes so will these holes
That I've been filling in with years and ghosts
And I'll be just like the dogs, saying "throw me a bone"
As I wait to get let back in
The ghosts of dogs past, well they don't come when they're called
But they creep in at midnight to sleep in my bed
The mattress it sags with the weight
Of all of us here in this cage
That I've built in my head
I'm trying to trust that they come when they must
And they'll stay as long as they can
So I keep my door open, I'm secretly hoping
I can welcome them back again
And I'll be ready to let 'em in...
But when my body goes so will these holes
That I've been filling in with years and ghosts
And I'll be just like the dogs, saying "throw me a bone"
As I wait to get let back in
But when my body goes so will these holes
That I've been filling in with years and ghosts
And I'll be just like the dogs, saying "throw me a bone"
As I wait to get let
As I wait to get let
As I wait to get let back in
