Dogs Lyrics

I was hungry and I was cold , had a father far too old 
Couldn't make it to the place he'd like to be 
In a treetrunk in the park , he was living in the dark 
Keeping other dogs like him for company 

In the evening I'd go down to a nightclub in the town 
Try to get some bread to make another way 
Back to the park I'd go , dig him out of the snow 
You know he's lived a thousand years day to day 

Well , the days get shorter and the nights get longer 
And you never learn to know 
If you love one another , could you look at each other 
Could it ever really show 
And at this moment in time you couldn't make up your mind 
Now could you ever understand 
Are you following me just like Moses to the sea 
Do you think I'll give you freedom in the end 
When I'm long dead and gone will your love for me go on 
Will I be the one you run to in the end 
And all my dogs need a friend 

It was a quarter to three in the summer of '73 
When I heard somebody call outside my door 
Said "Are you friend or are you foe" 
He looked up and he said "no, but I'd like to come inside and know you more" 

Well the days get shorter and the nights get longer 
And you never learn to know 
If you love one another , could you look at each other 
Could it ever really show 
And at this moment in time you couldn't make up your mind 
Now could you ever understand 
Are you following me just like Moses to the sea 
Do you think I'll give you freedom in the end 
When I'm long dead and gone will your love for me go on 
Will I be the one you run to in the end 
And all my dogs need a friend 

Need a friend 
Need a friend
