kevin devine - murphy's song lyrics

Loading...

i cry at her bowl, dog’s dying day
a bone in her bowl, a watery grave

see, i am a sailor, but i’m not so great
i keep fishin’ for roadkill, p-ssin’ out on the waves

shimmering sea, stretched end to end
shivering bowl, a flickering friend

see, that’s mr. murphy, my leathery brave
he’s whimpering “taps” now, for his plank-walk grade

i’ve never been a joiner, no, i’ve quit every team i’ve been on

now i’m crying in my coffee, that’s not sea salt in my eyes
cause me and murphy, we have been through it, and i hate watching him die

(whistling)

so i wait for my wisdom, like i wait for my wife
like i wait for a story, helps me wait out the night

like when i was an archer, but i couldn’t shoot straight
i broke all of ma’s windows, i poked holes through her drapes

and i laugh to myself, but i can’t tell you why
the hung-over sun, sneaks back in the sky

but murphy went peaceful, he went decent and right
at least better than i will, when it’s my turn to die

and i wear his collar on my wrist
and i bury him down at the beach

no crying, no coffin, just a body and a hole
no praying, no singing, no saving any souls

the only thing i’m saving, yeah
is a bone inside a bowl
