Year of the Dog
What is this shadow passing over us
Like a cloud across the sun?
Where did it come from? Was it something I've done?
We're so close now, you know, it's bound to get us both
Do you feel it like I feel it now
Cold hands around your neck pushing down?
But you're from another land, and I'll never understand it
The strange sounds, the summer in your mouth
See us in your room, side by side
See us seeing two different nights
When I see all the shadows, you just see the light
But like opposites, our edges align
Was it the pull of the stars, the year of the dog
The long-hidden spirals that sleep in the blood?
Was it the fools I grew up with, the water we drunk?
Whatever carved me as a hand to your glove
That's what I love
That's what I love
That's what I love
That's what I love
Aw, that's what I love
I was born at 9 a.m. sharp
It was a scheduled affair
But you came late in the night
Always picking your place and your time
When all the other dreams come alive
Put us in the chairs at the wedding there
The ones they lift in the air
Place our love and our people all together
Underneath us in the shape of a tear
Was it the pull of the stars, the year of the dog
The long-hidden spirals that sleep in the blood?
Was it the fools I grew up with, the trash that we talked?
Whatever carved me as a hand to your glove
That's what I love
That's what I love
That's what I love
That's what I love
Aw, that's what I love
That's what I love
Like a cloud across the sun?
Where did it come from? Was it something I've done?
We're so close now, you know, it's bound to get us both
Do you feel it like I feel it now
Cold hands around your neck pushing down?
But you're from another land, and I'll never understand it
The strange sounds, the summer in your mouth
See us in your room, side by side
See us seeing two different nights
When I see all the shadows, you just see the light
But like opposites, our edges align
Was it the pull of the stars, the year of the dog
The long-hidden spirals that sleep in the blood?
Was it the fools I grew up with, the water we drunk?
Whatever carved me as a hand to your glove
That's what I love
That's what I love
That's what I love
That's what I love
Aw, that's what I love
I was born at 9 a.m. sharp
It was a scheduled affair
But you came late in the night
Always picking your place and your time
When all the other dreams come alive
Put us in the chairs at the wedding there
The ones they lift in the air
Place our love and our people all together
Underneath us in the shape of a tear
Was it the pull of the stars, the year of the dog
The long-hidden spirals that sleep in the blood?
Was it the fools I grew up with, the trash that we talked?
Whatever carved me as a hand to your glove
That's what I love
That's what I love
That's what I love
That's what I love
Aw, that's what I love
That's what I love
