'One Small Dog'
Well you're all alone when you pick the bones
And you're all alone when you cry
No, nobody cares, you don't have a home
You'll be on your own 'til you die
And you know the road, you know every stone
And you'll roam 'til the end of the line
And I want to take your warm sweet soul
And put the love in your eyes
But I'm miles away in this other place
And I weep over pictures of your face
Each rib, each sore, each fall from grace
Each hurt you feel is part of my fate
And I'm round the clock on this mission of pain
This pleading with people to save you babe
This dream, this wish, this need we have
This hope, this hopeless broken world
And in the middle you starve, one small dog...
Well I've thought of ways I could help your cause
And I've raged battles on closing doors
And I sleep with your tears in my broken heart
Thinkin' tomorrow we'll make a new start
Well there's human beings but some ain't humane
And some get off on causing you pain
And some don't care and some are poor too
But tonight I can only think of you...
But I'm miles away in this other place
And I weep over pictures of your face
Each rib, each sore, each fall from grace
Each hurt you feel is part of my fate
And I'm round the clock on this mission of pain
This pleading with people to save you babe
This dream, this wish, this need we have
This hopeless, hopeless broken world
And in the middle you starve, one small dog....
