I was hungry and I was cold
had a father far too old Couldn t make it to the place he d like to be In a treetrunk in the park
he was living in the dark Keeping other dogs like him for company In the evening I d go down to a nightclub in the town Try to get some bread to make another way Back to the park I d go
dig him out of the snow You know he s lived a thousand years day to day Well
the days get shorter and the nights get longer And you never learn to know If you love one another
could you look at each other Could it ever really show And at this moment in time you couldn t make up your mind Now could you ever understand Are you following me just like Moses to the sea Do you think I ll give you freedom in the end When I m long dead and gone will your love for me go on Will I be the one you run to in the end And all my dogs need a friend It was a quarter to three in the summer of 73 When I heard somebody call outside my door Said "Are you friend or are you foe" He looked up and he said "no
but I d like to come inside and know you more" Well the days get shorter and the nights get longer And you never learn to know If you love one another
could you look at each other Could it ever really show And at this moment in time you couldn t make up your mind Now could you ever understand Are you following me just like Moses to the sea Do you think I ll give you freedom in the end When I m long dead and gone will your love for me go on Will I be the one you run to in the end And all my dogs need a friend Need a friend Need a friend |
