Patch The Whippet

It's a dog's life
If I stare long enough
to the door of your heart
I can will it open
It's a fools walk
But I know that I've got a headstart
Everybody's goin' out
I can smell the sweet perfume
As soon as you leave the room
I will have my day
The things that matter to you
They don't matter to me
And we will be apart
But your thoughts and your heart will be with me
Everyday at three o'clock
I come out to meet with you
And though I look like a fool
I will have my day
My way
It's a dog's life
Circling the house
ghosts in the windows
I found somewhere safe
To bury my bone
Where I can be my own
And if i were you
I know i'd have done the same
And if you were me
You might have your way
Your day
