Your Dog

[Verse 1]
Don't go down Highland Street
All that much anymore
But I had to get my glasses fixed
Right there in front
Of the old coffee shop was Walter
Just sitting where he'd always sit

[Verse 2]
& he was staring in the window
& maybe at you
Or maybe at whomever's walking him
To fetch your muffins & your Sunday papers
The way we used to

[Verse 3]
I don't drink coffee
All that much anymore
When I do I fix it at home
Don't do the crosswords Sundays
I can feel dumb other ways
I could never finish them alone

[Verse 4]
Sundays I ride down to the dog park
On the other side of town
Just to sit down in the shade
& watch those puppies running round

[Verse 5]
I don't miss feeling bad & dreading every call
The constant screaming dialogue
I swear that there were some days
It felt like I was only
Coming around for your dog

[Verse 6]
All those sunny days with Walter
Chasing squirrels around the park
& the way he'd flip
When he would see me coming
Like the way he did this morning
With his big old Walter bark

[Outro]
Bark bark
Bark bark
Bark bark
Hey there Walter
Bark bark

[End]
