Lyrics:

                                                  
Field of the Dogs

Verse:

Simple stick crosses
bound with fishing line
collars and chew toys
show up over time
in the small farm pasture
painted by wildflowers
where tears have fallen
like April’s showers
under a lone blackjack oak
where an old fallen log
is carved with the words
Field of the Dogs

Chorus: 

a dogs life spans
but a moment of our own
they’re here
and just like that 
they’re gone
and another 
joins the others
In the Field of the dogs

Verse:

they were our head rests
when we were tired
furry shoulders
into which we cried
patient playmates
for rambunctious kids
loyal protectors
our best friends
sleek purebreds, mixed breeds
shabby, shiny, big and small
they loved us
we loved them all

Chorus:

a dogs life spans
but a moment of our own
they’re here
and just like that 
they’re gone
and another 
joins the others
In the Field of the dogs

bridge:

angels just out on loan
have to go back again
but we come out here
to remember them

Chorus:

a dogs life spans
but a moment of our own
they’re here
and just like that 
they’re gone
and another 
joins the others
In the Field of the dogs
