thomas rückoldt & anne clark - the house dog's grave lyrics

Loading...

you were never masters, but friends. i was your friend
i loved you well, and was loved. deep love endures
to the end and far past the end. if this is my end
i am not lonely. i am not afraid. i am still yours

i’ve changed my ways a little; i cannot now
run with you in the evenings along the sh0r-
except in a kind of dream; and you, if you dream a moment
you see me there

so leave awhile the paw-marks on the front door
where i used to scratch to go out or in
and you’d soon open; leave on the floor
the marks of my drinking-pan

i cannot lie by your fire as i used to do
on the warm stone
nor at the foot of your bed; no, all the nights through
i lie alone

but your kind thought has laid me less than six feet
outside your window where firelight so often plays
and where you sit to read- and i fear often grieving for me-
every night your lamplight lies on my place

you, man and woman, live so long, it’s hard
to think of you ever dying
a little dog would get tired, living so long
i hope that when you are lying
under the ground like me your lives will appear
as good and joyful as mine

no, that’s too much hope: you are not so well cared for
as i have been

and never have known the p-ssionate undivided
fidelities that i knew

you were never masters, but friends. i was your friend
i loved you well, and was loved. deep love endures
to the end and far past the end. if this is my end
i am not lonely. i am not afraid. i am still yours
