Walkin' the dog

walkin' the dog
with the two of us we
still differ of opinion
we've looked at ev'ry angle
he's sweet, nice, kids love 'em

gettin' old
havin' trouble and the dog
it knows, we reached home
with not a blister between us

we telephoned, tomorrow will
be fine, and the dog it knows,
'why it asks I can still walk home',
he doesn't want to know he doen't
want to believe tomorrow's not
gonna be

The remains of the day

tired of the day to sleep I me lay
I take with me the remains of the day
some nice some sad dreams aren't that
bad

things linger on, bring on a restless night
broken moonlight invades my dreams givin'
me an unease

yet most of the time I'm allright, a first ray
of sunlight, up an' about, cryin' out loud ready
for a new day

it will make me sing, the remains of that day
I'll take with me when to sleep I me lay

getting old having trouble
and the dog it knows we

he doesn't want to know
