A Day In A Dog's Life

from Not Everything Has To Be Sad by Stella Le Page

lyrics

Will he have gifts for me?
Like a stack of sweet sardines, right out the hand
Howling at him from across the jetty
For I could recognise his boat a hundred miles away
His basket seems so empty
Another grim season it’s been
And he seems tired for he rubs his eyes and he
Pats my back to calm me
My masters back from the open seas
I run like the wind to greet him
But he’s down on his knees
Hasn’t got a fish for me but
Not the fish that I want
Just my master back on land with me
He’ll be half-blind from the heavy sun,
Have to double-check it’s me, his only child
I’ll know its him from his crooked back
And that ever twisting brow under his tilted/beloved/ faded cap
I’ve been pacing in the harbour
I can sense those old boots getting near
I’ve been barking at those taunting waves
To make stubborn days crawl the quicker
My masters back from the open seas
I run like the wind to greet him
But he’s down on his knees
Didn’t catch a fish for me but
Not the fish that I want
Just my master back home with me
The oceans running empty
That’s the rumour spread all round the port
I’m not worried for I’ll beg some scraps from the kids drinking beer on the docks
My masters back from the empty seas
I run like the wind to greet him
But he’s down on his knees
Hangs his head, he can’t look at me
But there’s nothing that’s beats
Having master back on land with me
