Layers decay, old clothes fall away
All we were was there but for a day
The clock on the wall stopped so long ago
Life has come and gone and taken its toll
Even old dogs are puppies once again
They frolick and run, all stumbling
The cool wind cracks the window
It speaks, it moans, it asks to let go
Say good-bye, Say good night
The dust of time falls from tired eyes
We stare at images of who we were
But as our hearts begin to rise
We fall prey to lies of skin and fur
Even old dogs are puppies once again
They frolick and run, all stumbling
The cool wind cracks the window
It speaks, it moans, it asks to let go
Say good-bye, Say good night
A bare light hangs, and goes in a flash
Breathless lungs scream in a final dash
Oh, and as we approach the yawning gulf
Let go. Don't you know? It was never enough
Even old dogs are puppies once again
They frolick and run, all stumbling
The cool wind cracks the window
It speaks, it moans, it asks to let go
Say good-bye, Say good night
