Tear Drop Blue
Sun streams in through the window,
Lights the scars on the hardwood floor
Mom's in the dining room crying,
Just staring at the door
I am snips n' snails, puppy dog tails
Knees drawn to my chest
Just me and his bowls
Sitting alone
By the stove
Unwashed and empty,
Ain't seen food for days,
Ignored on the floor, left alone
Stoic Grey on the outside,
Tear Drop Blue on the in
No more nuzzles in front of the fire,
No more chasing the old tennis ball
His leash just hangs idle
On its hook on the wall
Silent sobs and long hugs
After I climb the stairs
For the soul of a four-legged angel
Who's no longer there
Unwashed and empty,
Ain't seen food for days,
Ignored on the floor, left alone
Stoic Grey on the outside,
Tear Drop Blue on the in
Mom told me on the way home from school
I laid with him on the lawn
Nose to nose
As his chest fell and rose
With a sigh
Whispered
How much I would miss him
And that night he was gone
Burned in my mind
How I learned how to say
Goodbye
They placed a new vase
On the mantle today
Little boys need to be strong,
My dad likes to say
We love and learn and go on
Gotta believe in new starts
So we wait for the next guy
All legs, tongue and tail,
Rambunctious and glowing
To raise us all up,
And give us all hell
Until then I wait, cold and empty, Tear Drop Blue
Until then I wait, cold and empty, Tear Drop Blue
Tear Drop Blue
Tear Drop Blue
Lights the scars on the hardwood floor
Mom's in the dining room crying,
Just staring at the door
I am snips n' snails, puppy dog tails
Knees drawn to my chest
Just me and his bowls
Sitting alone
By the stove
Unwashed and empty,
Ain't seen food for days,
Ignored on the floor, left alone
Stoic Grey on the outside,
Tear Drop Blue on the in
No more nuzzles in front of the fire,
No more chasing the old tennis ball
His leash just hangs idle
On its hook on the wall
Silent sobs and long hugs
After I climb the stairs
For the soul of a four-legged angel
Who's no longer there
Unwashed and empty,
Ain't seen food for days,
Ignored on the floor, left alone
Stoic Grey on the outside,
Tear Drop Blue on the in
Mom told me on the way home from school
I laid with him on the lawn
Nose to nose
As his chest fell and rose
With a sigh
Whispered
How much I would miss him
And that night he was gone
Burned in my mind
How I learned how to say
Goodbye
They placed a new vase
On the mantle today
Little boys need to be strong,
My dad likes to say
We love and learn and go on
Gotta believe in new starts
So we wait for the next guy
All legs, tongue and tail,
Rambunctious and glowing
To raise us all up,
And give us all hell
Until then I wait, cold and empty, Tear Drop Blue
Until then I wait, cold and empty, Tear Drop Blue
Tear Drop Blue
Tear Drop Blue
