Old Dogs Songtext
von Bill Staines

Old dogs lie beside the door
They toss and turn and scratch and snore
They fight again their puppy wars
Of playful battles raging
Old dogs lie alone at night
They tuck their tails; they curl up tight
They howl when moons are full and bright
And recall when they were lovers
Old dogs have a song to sing
Old dogs like ′most ev'rything
They care not what the weather brings
Except when it is thunder


Old dogs look you in the eye
They hold your heart; they never lie
They bark at planes up in the sky
And wish that they were fliers
Old dogs dream about the past
When they frolicked fields of golden grass
And chased the icy winter′s blast
To lie by home fires burning
Old dogs wander off alone
Old dogs know the way back home
The slightest scent, the very bone
Of hunter home returning

Old dogs come and old dogs go
Old dogs always seem to know
That love is life's most precious flow
And love is worth the waiting
When their time on earth is through
Old dogs are forever true
And round the bend they wait for you
Come some tomorrow morning
When their time on earth is through
Old dogs are forever true
And round the bend they wait for you
Come some tomorrow morning
