Stray Dog Songtext
von R.D. Thomas

I ain′t much for the mornings
Take all that you need
I'll see you on the dark side of me

This heart ought to beat, and
These lungs ought to breathe
But there′s nothing you owe
Except to leave

Don't bring me down again
Don't bring me down again

I′m waiting while the sun sets
On the dark side of me
Still waiting while the sun sets
On the dark side of me

You come back like a stray dog
Said, "come, take the lead"
Walking straight
To the dark side of me


These hands are shaking
Like breath on the breeze
They′ll do you nothing good
Except to leave

Don't bring me down again
Don′t bring me down again

Still waiting while the sun sets
On the dark side of me
I'm waiting while the sun sets
On the dark side of me

Can′t hear for the barking
Can't hear for the howling
Can′t see for the sun in my eyes

Can't hear for the barking
Can't hear for the howling
Can′t see for the sun in my eyes

Still waiting while the sun sets (can′t hear for the barking)
(Can't hear for the howling)
(Can′t see for the sun in my eyes)


Still waiting while the sun sets
On the dark side
(Waiting while the sun sets)
Can't hear for the barking
Can′t hear for the howling
Can't see for the sun in my eyes
(Waiting) I′m still waiting while the sun sets
On the dark side of me
