lyrics

i never broke free
of winter's freeze
23 days
from the first sign of spring

the river broke free
of winter's freeze
left her leash on the dock
carved these words with a rock

the dog waz me

tried hard not to love her
kept my distance from others
she carried my home
kept me from myself

she was always restless
paced when she could sleep
always swam the river
where it raced too deep

the dog waz me

we had to go together
there's no way she could stay
the animal inside us
breaks free one day

took the paddle to the water
rode our boat away from shore
took the rifle and the bullets
we don't exist no more
