Dogs And Thunder lyrics

a rifle sits behind her sleeping ear
an echo on the cold wall closest neighbor couldn`t hear
we dug a hole in the fall
so now its a frozen burial
and she`s gone
just before the new year

well i`m gonna build a cross for the spot between the trees
and stick it in firm so it won`t sway in their breeze
well you and i have trouble making up our half-assed minds
but she`d seen 16 years of our kind
and what`s it like when your memories start to freeze

oh and i wonder what it is about dogs and thunder
what they hear coming over the fields
backhouse shelter warm nights in the summer
shaking the ground that you lie under
well i know you`re not here but at least you don`t feel it anymore

and i came to see you on the day that it happened
you said hey sorry sar but i gotta go
and i was trying to read some sorta reaction
it`s something you just can`t show
so i guess it`s time i go

across the snowy barnyard just past the driving shed
a shadow of me in the moon well i was in a movie in my head
this pile of dirt on the ground
will sink when nobody is around
and winter covers everything but everything`s not dead

oh and i wonder what it is about dogs and thunder
what they hear coming over the fields
backhouse shelter warm nights in the summer
shaking the ground that you lie under
well i know you`re not here but at least you don`t feel it anymore
well i know you`re not here but at least you don`t feel it anymore
well i know you`re not here but at least you don`t feel it anymore
