Song for Riff
Someday I'll come back home and you'll be gone
I hope it's not too soon but know it won't be long
Your nose is growing whiter with every rising sun
Someday I'll come back home and you'll be gone
I'll miss the way you loved walking through the park
Feared all the other dogs but never fought or barked
Sat with me by the fire in spite of all the falling sparks
I'll miss the way you loved with all your heart
You love with all your heart
Wish you could understand a single word I said
Or tell me all the plans inside your little head
Wish I could bring you with me and hold you in my Brooklyn bed
Oh, I wish you could understand
But I'd like to think you can
Nobody knows me quite like you
Nobody knows me quite like you
Nobody loves me quite like you
Someday I'll come back home and you'll be gone
No one to throw a bone, no one to show a song
I hope you've liked your life here
I'm sorry that I had to run
