dog with a bone

Top of a mountain and high with the trees
Is a man with a dog and a dog listening
He said: Get me some water, sit by my bed
Don't make a sound: Go quiet again

Now we're naked, faded
You look in my eyes
And the weed makes you sweet
That's why I keep getting high

And I'm spinning, connecting the dots and the lines
I've been talking to God, and He gave me a sign
So I left it
I drove home, you told me come back
So I listened
I did it, and even after that
You just loved me, and you'd held me

A hill I'd rest on
And I'd wake up and wonder
Where the hell have you gone
But I sat there and listened, a dog with a bone
With a bark that's so quiet, the drop of a stone
You could hear it
A shiver down the spine of your back

Did I love you?
Would I leave you? Is all that you'd ask
The politics, the popes built the boy I once met
Where'd that go?
'Cause you know that it seemed to connect you with water
The world and the way that we move
Makes a bitch out of me, but makes a man out of you

And I could slip off that leash and I'd sit by your feet
I never wanted nothing bad, but I wanted you too badly
So I left it
I drove home, you told me come back
So I listened
I did it, and even after that
You just loved me, and you'd held me

A hill I'd rest on
And I'd wake up and wonder
Where the hell have you gone
But I sat there and listened, a dog with a bone
With a bark that's so quiet, the drop of a stone
You could hear it
A shiver down the spine of your back

Did I love you?
Would I leave you? Is all that you'd ask

So I left it, I drove home, you came through that door
With a bone in your hand as I sat on that floor
As I sat on that floor
As I sat on that floor
