A Dog Waits in the Doorway

I wish I knew how to talk to you
Everytime I try, my words get misconstrued
Hey, what’s the sort of trouble that you’re in?
If open water, I know how to swim
When a dog waits in the doorway
And a dog waits in the rain
But a cat never remembers
When you call his name
It’s a strange concept I’m sure
But it’s one you must endure
It’s one you must endure
