I Told Him That My Dog Wouldn'T Run

I told him that my dog wouldn’t run
I told him that I loved someone
Yeah, that’s my old car out in the parking lot
I saw him when he first walked in
I thought it was a vision of him
He was looking like where he had been
Looking kind of fragile
He said
I read the Bible every day
Trying to keep the demons at bay
Thank God when the sun goes down
I don’t blow away
My friend said, «Was he always like that?»
I said, «Yeah, but he was never this bad»
And I remember us playing for nickels and dimes
Out on the corner
I asked him to marry me once
He told me he couldn’t because
This would be all that there was
He said
I read the Bible every day
Trying to keep the demons at bay
Thank God when the sun goes down
I don’t blow away
