[Verse]
Bert’s got paws worn smooth as stone
He don't know why he's left alone
The door don't move it just stands still
But Bert’s strong heart bends to his will
[Verse 2]
The wind it creaks that old wood frame
But Bert just waits like it’s a game
Day turns night and night to day
Loyal Bert just can’t walk away
[Chorus]
Life by the door it ain't much to see
But Bert’s there waiting as loyal can be
Tail don't wag and his eyes run dry
By the door his world goes by
[Verse 3]
The clock hums steady like a lonely hum
Bert don’t flinch he knows they’ll come
Rain on the roof sings a weary tune
But Bert won’t quit not afternoon
[Bridge]
Time’s a word dogs don’t really know
Yet Bert stays put through sun and snow
Nothin' moves ‘cept his heavy sighs
But loyal Bert still believes their lies
[Chorus]
Life by the door it ain't much to see
But Bert’s there waiting as loyal can be
Tail don't wag and his eyes run dry
By the door his world goes by
