Werns
Lyrics
Chilling at the beach Watching my dogs digging A face shaped hole then they dive right in They got me laughing
They give me a goofy sandy look Their tails wag in the breeze The bond we share is an ancient one We've been together so long
Before we named our Gods We had dogs Before we wrote, before we spoke Any language known today
They kept us safe out on the hunt They kept us warm in the cave We shared our food and buried their dead They've been family for so long
Before we planted seeds Before we built cities From the cave to outer space We’ve come a long way together
Chilling at the beach Watching my dogs digging The bond we share is an ancient one Tens of thousands of years long
I don't have a dog, but I absolutely get the appeal, and this is a lovely tribute to that bond. There's an almost magical aura to the track that I think really gets to the deep and spiritual relationship that I know often exists. It actually makes me feel like I'm missing out.
(Although Im shallow enough that when I think about my neighbors walking their dogs in the middle of a snow storm, I'm suddenly content with my pet-free life again...)
