about
A term I learned in Poetry, plus a mood.
lyrics
I don’t say we’re dead or doomed already
But you’ve seen the stars are all gone
Don’t you think it might be wise to steady
As the boat goes sailing towards dawn?
When she said she’s leaving me forever
I begged her please, please stay
At the very least, don’t say never
But she just went ahead and walked away
Now I ain’t nothing, I ain’t nothing,
I ain’t nothing but a shaggy dog…
Sometimes love is hard to measure
And you don’t even notice when you are wrong
And you think you’re just in love with pleasure
And you don’t realize until she’s gone
When she said she’s leaving me forever
I begged her please, don’t go
At the very least, don’t say never
But she just went ahead and walked away
Now I ain’t nothing, I ain’t nothing,
I ain’t nothing but a shaggy dog…
But you’ve seen the stars are all gone
Don’t you think it might be wise to steady
As the boat goes sailing towards dawn?
When she said she’s leaving me forever
I begged her please, please stay
At the very least, don’t say never
But she just went ahead and walked away
Now I ain’t nothing, I ain’t nothing,
I ain’t nothing but a shaggy dog…
Sometimes love is hard to measure
And you don’t even notice when you are wrong
And you think you’re just in love with pleasure
And you don’t realize until she’s gone
When she said she’s leaving me forever
I begged her please, don’t go
At the very least, don’t say never
But she just went ahead and walked away
Now I ain’t nothing, I ain’t nothing,
I ain’t nothing but a shaggy dog…
