Silent Loyalty

(sighs, quiet breathing)

They talk behind their fences

Watch me through the screen

Passing quick offenses On things they haven't seen

They think I neglect my buddy

Left him out to freeze

But his paws are only muddy

From running through the trees (hmmmm)

They say I abandoned my best friend

And I don't care at all

But I'll hold him till

the very end

And catch him when he falls (yeah)

They don't see the early mornings

Or the warm bed on the floor

They just write their little warnings

And lock their own front door

Oh, we've walked a thousand miles

Through the rain and through the cold

I don't care about their smiles

He's the only hand I hold

They say I abandoned my best friend

And I don't care at all

But I'll hold him till

the very end

And catch him when he falls (oh-oh-oh)

He's right here sleeping on my shoe (sigh of relief)
