He Came Looking for You

Since Sarah left, the porch was just a chair

And empty dust hanging in the air

Then old Tom died two houses down the lane And that red

retriever walked through the autumn rain

He laid his heavy head upon my knee

With golden eyes that looked right through to me

He didn't bark, just shared the afternoon

Beneath a pale October crescent moon

Oh,

he came looking for you

(looking for you) But he found me sitting in the dark

Now we're walking down to the community park

Yeah, he came looking for you

Now Mrs. Gable waves from across the street

And children gather just to rub his feet

I find I'm talking to the folks next door

Forgetting why I stayed inside before

Oh, he came looking for you

(looking for you) But he found me sitting in the dark

Now we're walking down to the community park Yeah,

he came looking for you

Just a bridge between two lonely lives

(thank you boy) Underneath the open sky

He came looking for you...
