Top of a mountain
high with the trees
is a man with a dog
and a dog listening
He said
get me some water
sit by my bed
Don't make a sound
I go quiet again
Now we're naked
we're faded
You look in my eyes
and the weed
makes you sweet
So I keep getting high
and I'm spinning
Connecting the dots
and the lines
I've been talking to God
and He gave me a sign
So I left it
I drove home
You told me
come back
So I listened
I did it
And even after that
you just loved me
you held me
A hill I'd rest on
And I'd wake up
and wonder
where the hell
had you gone
But I sat there and listened
The dog with the bone
With a bark that's so quiet
The drop of a stone
You could hear it
A shiver down the spine
of your back
Did I love you
Would I leave you
Is all you'd ask
The politics
the pope spilled
The boy I once met
where'd that go
'Cause you know that it seemed
to connect you with water
The world and the way
that we move
Makes a bitch out of me
But makes a man out of you
And I could slip off
that leash
And I'd sit by your feet
I never wanted nothing bad
but I wanted you too badly
So I left it
and I drove home
You told me
come back
So I listened
I did it
And even after that
you just loved me
you held me
A hill I'd rest on
And I'd wake up
and wonder
where the hell
had you gone
But I sat there
and listened
The dog with the bone
With a bark that's so quiet
The drop of a stone
You could hear it
A shiver down the spine
of your back
Did I love you
Would I leave you
Is all that you'd ask
So I left it
I drove home
You came through that door
with a bone in your hand
As I sat on the floor
As I sat on the floor
As I sat on the floor
