Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's fast asleep at Woden's feet
Whilst alms I seek from thronging fair folk
As a whelp fast to the teat
She smote me then
We've ever since been shadows
Two beasts of one old soul
[Verse 2]
If you rely on the kindness of strangers
It helps to have a hound for a handmaid
Not only for the superior nose
Or companionship
Often people stop to talk with me
Having never seen before such a very beautiful
Snow colored collie
[Verse 3]
Working the fell, a most powerful eye
Part of the grass, fast as a lightning
Before the children were grown
They'd ride her, like a pony
Through the nodding banners yesterday
She went in chase, of a ship's rat
At my wit's end I finally located her
Under a whining bush, my poor old lady
Seized by a fit
[Verse 4]
When the raiders came in their flaming carriages
She was running to her family
While I listened on, cowering behind a pile of logs
There is no denying it
I sold my shoes, so I could buy a chicken
A penance and a treat on her final day
Now she is gone, I carry her down to the sea
And scream to the sinking stars
Can you ever forgive me?
