Samson The Ghost Dog

[Verse 1]
They say he died on a winter road
Snow on his fur
And his collar froze
But love’s a leash that never lets go
So he stayed
Samson
Padding through the midnight air
Breath like fog that is never there
If you listen when the sky feels scared
Hear his name
[Chorus]
Samson
Legendary ghost dog
Running where the lost hearts walk
Big paws in the dark
You can’t see him but you know
Samson
When the whole world shakes
You feel a nudge and the fear just breaks
If you hear soft claws on an old wood floor
You’re not alone anymore
[Verse 2]
Kid on a bridge with a heavy stone
Thinking of jumping
Of letting go
Felt a shove
Dropped the weight below
Stumbled back
Later by the door sat a chewed-up shoe
Mud in the hall like someone ran through
Mama swears that she always knew
“He’s still on track”
[Chorus]
Samson
Legendary ghost dog
Running where the lost hearts walk
Big paws in the dark
You can’t see him but you know
Samson
When the whole world shakes
You feel a nudge and the fear just breaks
If you hear soft claws on an old wood floor
You’re not alone anymore
[Bridge]
Who guards the guards?
Who holds the brave?
Who curls up quiet by a stranger’s grave?
Old brass tag in a box of things
Still somehow rings
[Chorus]
Samson
Legendary ghost dog
Running where the lost hearts walk
Big paws in the dark
You can’t see him but you know
Samson
Through the storm and smoke
Every broken soul he ever chose
If you hear soft claws on an old wood floor
You’re not alone anymore
(You’re not alone anymore)

Warm cinematic folk-pop with male vocals; fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft piano, and brushed drums. Verses stay intimate and hushed; chorus swells with string pads and stacked harmonies on the hook. Subtle reverb for a storybook glow, gentle rise into a powerful final chorus then a tender, echoing outro.
