I was hungry and I was cold, had a father far too old
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Couldn't make it to the place he'd like to be
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
In a treetrunk in the park, he was living in the dark
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Keeping other dogs like him for company

In the evening I'd go down to a nightclub in the town
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Try to get some bread to make another way
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Back to the park I'd go , dig him out of the snow
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
You know he's lived a thousand years day to day
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Well, the days get shorter and the nights get longer
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And you never learn to know
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
If you love one another, could you look at each other
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Could it ever really show
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And at this moment in time you couldn't make up your mind
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Now could you ever understand
