I was hungry and I was cold , had a father far too old
Couldnt make it to the place hed like to be
In a treetrunk in the park , he was living in the dark
Keeping other dogs like him for company
In the evening Id go down to a nightclub in the town
Try to get some bread to make another way
Back to the park Id go , dig him out of the snow
You know hes lived a thousand years day to day
Well , the days get shorter and the nights get longer
And you never learn to know
If you love one another , could you look at each other
Could it ever really show
And at this moment in time you couldnt make up your mind
Now could you ever understand
Are you following me just like moses to the sea
Do you think Ill give you freedom in the end
When Im long dead and gone will your love for me go on
Will I be the one you run to in the end
And all my dogs need a friend
It was a quarter to three in the summer of 73
When I heard somebody call outside my door
Said "are you friend or are you foe"
He looked up and he said "no, but Id like to come inside and know you more"
Well the days get shorter and the nights get longer
And you never learn to know
If you love one another , could you look at each other
Could it ever really show
And at this moment in time you couldnt make up your mind
Now could you ever understand
Are you following me just like moses to the sea
Do you think Ill give you freedom in the end
When Im long dead and gone will your love for me go on
Will I be the one you run to in the end
And all my dogs need a friend
Need a friend
Need a friend
