Damien Jurado - The Dogs lyrics

[Verse 1] We started like children Lost in the building by the wall Hope lost to fear And nothing was clear when lost it all [Chorus] This is how, how we tried This is where, where it died This is how, how we cried Like the dogs left outside [Verse 2] We were so cautious Guarding the lock-sets viciously I'm never breathing Tender like ribbons obviously [Chorus] [Verse 3] I am too shy to cry You gave her one kind to provoke Even with balance Losing the hope with you again [Chorus] [Verse 4] His words are like sharp knives Reading on my rights every time Crying to our son I was just so wrong every time [Chorus]
