Left Behind at the Gate

[Intro]
Waiting behind the glass, lost in the crowd
Silent eyes watch the world, so loud
A lonely heart bound by a leash
In this cold airport, silent reach

[Verse 1]
The woman she packed her bags in haste
Left her best friend, no time to waste
Told the agent, ‘It’s my service dog’
But doubts shadowed her, she slipped away from

[Pre-Chorus]
Tied up in the corner, waiting still
Can’t understand the departing thrill
Eyes full of stories left unsaid
A faithful friend, by the boardings led

[Chorus]
Oh, dog at the gate, eyes full of grace
Watching her go, heart out of place
Left in the terminal, all alone
Waiting for a love that’s gone

[Bridge]
Flying high above, she’s gone away
While he’s left behind, day by day
Hope flickers like a distant star
In the heart of a friend, who’s lost so far

[Outro]
Waits by the window, tail low and slow
Dreams of a day they’ll reunite and go
Until then, he’s a silent guard
Loyal as ever, in a world so hard
