Why We Howl at Night

from Seven Songs About Dogs by Collectors Item

/

lyrics

When I look into this portrait above my head
The lights dance and play for me
And as the light the light shifts
I notice spots of nothing
And I wanna fill their silence

So I tell them

You exist
And I love
Your presence

This plane I walk
When I dig down
Looking at the black above
My love for you is everything I am

And on the porch
The northern lights will shine
I've slowed down since the last time
And I can't figure out why

But the thought of you
Or your very presence
It makes it all worth while

This plane I walk
When I dig down
Looking at the black above
My love for you is

The time when you and I just sat outside
And the light refracted across your eyes
But now I see spots between the light
And I wanna fill their silence

And so I tell them

You exist
And I love
Your presence
