Kind Dog

Standing out here on a freezing dock

Watching rain roll across the state

On a lone shot through the border, where I plan to stay

With all this legislating

These Americans have done

Means I'll be disobeying, just in trying to come

I'll meet you across the river

I'll meet you where you stand

And when you try to kiss me, I'll pretend

The getting through was easy

The getting through was free

And I don't care what the price is, long as you lie next to me

With your heart next to mine

There's nothing I won't leave behind

No language can sum it up

And shave the miles between

Kilometres of nothing, hills of rolling green

I dream within a past life

Of a lonely L.A. evening

I let the feelings hold me back, ones I grew tired of concealing

I'll meet you across the river

I'll meet you where you stand

And when you try to kiss me, I'll pretend

The getting through was easy

The getting through was free

But I don't care what the price is, long as you lie next to me

With your heart next to mine

There's nothing I won't leave behind

Whether near or far away

And where the sun's shining

Or a gentle California rain
