In a dog’s life A year is really more like seven And all too soon a canine Will be chasing cars in doggie heaven It seems to me As we make our own few circles 'round the sun We get it backwards And our seven years go by like one Dog years…It’s the season of the itch Dog years…With every scratch it reappears ---

I found a fox Caught by dogs. He let me take him in my hands. His little heart, It beats so fast, And I’m ashamed of running away From nothing real– I just can’t deal with this, But I’m still afraid to be there, Among your hounds of love, And feel your arms surround me. I’ve always been a coward, And never know what’s good for me. Oh, here I go! Don’t let me go! Hold me down! It’s coming for me through the trees. Help me, darling, Help me, please! Take my shoes off And throw them in the lake, And I’ll be Two steps on the water. ---

The solitary huntsman No coat of pink doth wear, But midnight black from cap to spur Upon his midnight mare. He drones a tuneless jingle In lieu of tally-ho: “I’ll catch a fox And put him in a box And never let him go.” The solitary huntsman, He follows silent hounds. No horn proclaims his joyless sport, And never a hoofbeat sounds. His hundred hounds, his thousands, Their master’s will they know: To catch a fox And put him in a box And never let him go. For all the fox’s doubling They track him to his den. The chase may fill a morning, Or threescore years and ten. The huntsman never sated Screaks to his saddlebow, “I’ll catch another fox And put him in a box And never let him go." ---

Is it a kind of a dream floating out of the tide? Following the river of death downstream or is it a dream? There’s a fog along the horizon; a strange glow in the sky And nobody seems to know where you go and what does it mean. Or is it a dream? ``` Bright eyes burning like fire. Bright eyes, how can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly suddenly burn so pale, bright eyes? ``` Is it a kind of shadow reaching into the night? Wandering over the hills unseen or is it a dream? There’s a high wind in the trees, a cold sound in the air. And nobody ever knows when you go and where do you start Oh, into the dark. ---

Life isn’t easy from the singular side Down in the hole, some emotions are hard to hide It’s your decision, it’s a chance that you take It’s on your head, it’s a habit that’s hard to break Do you need a friend, would you tell no lies? Would you take me in, are you lonely In the dark - In the dark In the dark - In the dark You never listen to the voices inside They fill your ears as you run to a place to hide You’re never sure if the illusion is real You pinch yourself but the memories are all you feel Can you break away from your alibis Can you make a play, oh, will you meet me In the dark - In the dark In the dark - In the dark In the dark - In the dark Don’tcha need me - hey, hey Don’tcha need me - oh yeah Don’tcha leave me - hey, hey Don’tcha need me - oh yeah ---

I’ve seen that life Touches us with pain And we change Becoming strangers to our friends Tell me what happens along the way I thought of us Hard to talk these days Did we change Or were we strangers all along Tell me what caused us to turn away There’s a wall of silence Miles across A wall between us Holding back Holding back our loss I moved ahead Thinking you’d be there But it changed And now we’re strangers to our past How did I lose you along the way There’s a wall of silence Miles across A wall between us Holding back Holding back our loss I’ve seen that life Touches us with pain And we change Becoming strangers to ourselves Tell me what happens along the way How did I lose you along the way ---

So what if the words ain’t rhyming, did you think that it’s just a game? I probably didn’t even say that right and I really don’t give a damn Okay go off and wander, I’m guilty just the same Sometimes you’re needed badly so please come back again And if the fires burn out there’s only fire to blame (Hold back the rain) No time for worry cause we’re on the roam again (Hold back the rain) The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane (Hold back the rain) Not on your own so help me please, hold back the rain ---

Long as I remember The rain been comin’ down. Clouds of myst’ry pourin’ Confusion on the ground. Good men through the ages, Tryin’ to find the sun; And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who’ll stop the rain. ---

Someone told me long ago There’s a calm before the storm I know; it’s been comin’ for some time When it’s over, so they say It’ll rain a sunny day I know; shinin’ down like water I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain? I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain? Comin’ down on a sunny day ---

When the sky-full of tears Is threatening to fall Don’t stand in the way Come inside, close the door The sky will clear again After the rain… When the clouds overhead Want to capture your heart Let them know you are strong You will not be caught The clouds will blow away After the rain… Fall, fall Fall, fall Fall, fall Fall, fall After the rain No clouds over you After the rain Sun yellow sky blue After the rain Though you can’t see it now The sun never sets It always does What you sometimes forget The sun will shine again After the rain Fall, fall Fall, fall Fall, fall ---

I packed my ammunition Inside the crowd was shouting, “Encore!” But I had a most funny feeling It wasn’t me they were shouting for So when the tall dark lady smiled at me I said, “Oh, baby let us go for a ride.” And we came upon two drinks or four And popped them oh so neatly inside Oh, but the rain wasn’t made of water And the snow didn’t have a place in the sun So we slipped behind a rainbow And lay there until we had done Let me pack you deep in my suitcase Oh, there’s sure to be room for two Or you can drive me to the airplane But don’t let me catch those rainbow blues ---

She helped me with my suitcase, She stands before my eyes Driving me to the airport, And to the friendly skies. Going through security I held her for so long. She finally looked at me in love, And she was gone. ---

Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of comfort, full of pain, Like a fire when it’s cold outside or thunder when it rains. If I should live forever and all my dreams come true, My memories of love will be of you. ---

Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean’s roar Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more, more! Singing about good things and the sun that lights the day I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way? Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day Used to sing on the mountains, but the mountains washed away Now I’m singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart She is only three years old and it’s a real fine way to start ---
