Dog Days

Gone are, dog days they're over
Gone are the days of youth
Innocent days were not so innocent after all

The path has not been easy
My feet have travelled far
The ground rough beneath me
My skin covered in scars

But why grieve days of grief
It's silly to mourn the long forgotten taste of bitter days
Days when I would long an anxious longing
Whose name is no longer found in books of the wise

And I found you there all by yourself
And I found that I myself was alone there too
And I found you there all by yourself
With yourself

Gone are, dog days they're over
Gone are the days of youth
Innocent days were not so innocent after all

And old sadness that creeps upon you late at night from years long ago
And it's easy to unsee the good things that have been bought with pain
And I found you
And I found you
And I found you

I found myself
I found myself
I found myself
