Stray Dog

Time is deceiving me, time ain’t retreating me.
My mind is drifting like a loose dog down in a dream
It rolls the avenues, sleeps with the morning news and runs for shelter when
the sun light is pouring through
It sails the oceans, but reaches no land. I’ve never needed anyone’s hand
I’m caught in quicksand, I’m sinking and I’m reaching no end You really got me
in love and I ain’t happy. I’m in the dumps, I ain’t asleep
You really got me in love, you made a rumbler out of a gent to trouble the
streets The morning struggles, the evening boreseach night I tremble like a
blow fish thrown on a shore
I bet my pride on you, you won and I did lose. I caught a habit when finally I
was kicking abuse
I gave you loving, you gave me disease, and you pulled me in and out of my
jeans.
You got me drifting, sinking down the strangest of dreams You really got me in
love and I ain’t happy. I’m in the dumps, I ain’t asleep
You really got me in love, you’ve made a madman out of a gent to trouble the
streets
You really got me in love, it may smell ethyl out of my breath, but damp on
your soul
You’ve made a stray dog out of a pet to roam in the cold
I gave you loving, you gave me disease and you pulled me in and out of my jeans
You got me drifting, aching for the strangest means
