The Leper Dogs of May

The Leper Dogs of May
Came crawling to my doorstep
Most certainly astray
The Leper Dogs of May
Came sleeping on my sofa
And peeing in my loafers
Forever they will stay.
They said we’re bringing joy
Joy
To every girl and boy
Girl and boy
The Leprechauns of June
Came waltzing through the chimney
Chanting all the runes
The Leprechauns of June
They licked my sugar bowl
Took my remote control
They won’t be leaving soon.
They said we’re bringing joy
Joy?
To every girl and boy
Girl and boy
And I apprehend the fall
When all things will be dying
And colors fade to grey
Yes, I apprehend the fall
On this cliff I may be leaning
Without hope; without meaning
Let the storm take me away; the Storm…
Because you’re gone…
Because you’re gone…
Because you’re gone…
The Leper Dogs of May
Are sleeping on my doorstep
Forever licking foam
Should they be amused to stay
Start drinking all my wine
Let them be so inclined
They’re the guardians of my bones.
