Dog Heart

Where is my heart? You buried it in the yard So the dog could find it If you needed him to I guess I was smart for giving it to you How long has it been? I've lost track of time again Like the better parts of my life And the sadder parts I've lived A stone-throw away from a year and a day You'll say But I've been here the whole time Just in a different way Put the shovel away The dog will dig it up someday You'll find it in the food dish, I'm sure Or somewhere on the floor If you pick it up, don't ever let it go Undergroud, it will never go But in your arms and in your heart It's part of us both Honey, I'm gone But not for good
