The Dog Still Waits

Paroles de « The Dog Still Waits »

Verse

The Honda Civic parked in clay
At half past six, the owner stayed
Now the gravel crunches under weight
No engine hum, no open gate

Chorus

He waits for the key to turn in the lock
He waits for the sound of that steady rock
But the porch light flickers and dies in the dark
And the echo is empty, leaving its mark

Verse

The calendar shows a Tuesday date
A shirt left hanging on the gate
The vet said Tuesday was the last
For the car that's rusted and doesn't last

Chorus

He waits for the key to turn in the lock
He waits for the sound of that steady rock
But the porch light flickers and dies in the dark
And the echo is empty, leaving its mark

Bridge

The moonlight paints the fence in gray
A shadow falls where wheels would stay
He licks his paw, a habit caught
In a life where the heart is stopped

Chorus

He waits for the key to turn in the lock
He waits for the sound of that steady rock
But the porch light flickers and dies in the dark
And the echo is empty, leaving its mark

Outro

The Honda Civic buried deep
Where the neighbor promised only sleep
He curls his tail around his nose
And waits for the morning to close
