Peace, we laid the dog to rest
Just last night he found the nest
Bees will swarm relentlessly
Why'd we tie him to that tree?
The tree that dances to appease
The restless love behind the breeze
That lifts the dust behind the bend
That's where I made my friend
Bill was my oldest friend
Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born
And does a human form display
To those who dwell in realms of day?
Who dwell in realms of day
The world's no good for friends like this
Who have good aim but always miss
The tired dog with strength beneath
He just yawns to show his teeth
Bill shoots arrows in the sky
A wanton boy who kills the fly
To be the spiders enmity
We tied that dog to the god damn tree
Why'd we tie him to that tree?
Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born
And does a human form display
To those who dwell in realms of day?
Who dwell in realms of day
