She is gone
she’s gone
how could she leave
why
I’m lost without her
you know
don’t you dog
I see it in your eyes
the sadness there
sadness I recognize
pressing in
so heavy on my heart
yes
she’s gone boy
lost forever
into that place
beyond us here
I’m scared boy
cold
you shiver
you feel it too
don’t you boy
I feel so alone
hurt
so sad
I hear your sorrowful whimper
guess we share that now
in our broken hearts
sorry boy
I’m no comfort here
but stay
stay here boy
I need you now
that’s a good dog
I know
I know
me too boy
me too
