Torn Ear

Open your eyes, see the view
Your new home in the skies
You're not alone, but you'll never know
How deep is the loss you're leaving behind
The collars and bells, the footprints and fur
Are the signs that you're still here

And the Lord only knows I've tried
To see this from his side
But the truth is you're

Gone and I cannot go
On in a state of despair
When I think of you
Everywhere so
Forgive me my dear
Goodbye my sweet
Torn ear

You've been my whole life from the time
I was eight, look at us now
I want to believe you're in a good place
But I'm not, so I don't know how
I hear the ghosts of scratches and yawns
They fill our desolate home

And the Lord only knows I've tried
To see this from his side
But the truth is you're

Gone and I cannot go
On in a state of despair
When I think of you
Everywhere so
Forgive me my dear
Goodbye my sweet
Torn ear

I woke from a dream where the door was opened wide
And you looked at me, love in your eyes
We urged you to go, you walked to the door
And taking a look, you sat on the floor
I know what it means, it means you're still here
And we're safe as long as you're near
Cause I'll live the

Rest of my life without
Knowing a love like the
Love that you showed and the
Joy that you brought us so
Once more my dear
Goodbye my sweet
Torn ear
