The Dog In The Boat
Bear Quartet · Mom And Dad Ep [1998]
For it to bark
At the water above you
But you weren't there
They searched all night
They lit up the woods
They looked in buildings
Abandoned and old
And they said
It's time for you to go to bed
But I stayed up late
And wondered about
The dog in the boat
What was it's name
Was it cold or afraid
So intense and concentrated
The impression it gave
They found you next morning
The commotion died down
A misunderstanding
So everything's fine
And they said
It's time for you to go to bed
But I stayed up late
And wondered about
The dog in the boat
What was it's name
Was it cold or afraid
So intense and concentrated
The impression it gave
