Could it ever really show?

You know he's lived a thousand years from day to day

When I'm long dead and gone will your love for me go on?

If you love one another, could you look at each other

When I'm long dead and gone will your love for me go on?
And you never learn to know
And in the evening I'd go down to a nightclub in the town
Now could you ever understand?
Will I be the one you run to in the end?
And you never learn to know

Are you following me just like Moses to the sea?
Keeping other dogs like him for company
Need a friend, need a friend
It was a quarter to three in the summer of '73
He looked up and he said "No
Are you following me just like Moses to the sea?
Now could you ever understand?
But I'd like to come inside and know you more"
And all my dogs need a friend
Do you think I'll give you freedom in the end?
If at this moment in time you couldn't make up your mind
If at this moment in time you couldn't make up your mind
Well, the days get shorter and the nights get longer
In a tree trunk in the park, he was living in the dark
Well, the days get shorter and the nights get longer
Do you think I'll give you freedom in the end?
When I heard somebody call outside my door
And all my dogs need a friend
If you love one another, could you look at each other
Will I be the one you run to in the end?
Try to get some bread to make another way
Said, "Are you friend or are you foe?"
Could it ever really show?
And back to the park I'd go, dig him out of the snow
