Old Dog (Believe)

You’re gonna miss it if you blink

Lead a dog to water but you just can’t make him drink

And there’s a dog wearing a cone

And pretty soon he’ll look down saying where’d it go?

But soon he’s an old dog that knows

From the tears welled in your eyes that the park is closed

So he licks you on the nose

Almost saying it’s okay to just let go

Believe in me

Or at least believe in something

Teach an older dog to stretch

Teach an older dog to sit

Teach an older dog to fetch

Teach an older dog to learn it’s mortal yet

So we’ll go out on the road

And find a place the reminds you of our home

Where the farmland meets to coast

And take in one last sunset before you go

Believe in me

Or at least believe in something

Cos you never know

When it’s time to say goodbye to your final last hello

Now your bones are getting weak

And it’s getting harder just to see you’re going blind

And if you can no longer breathe

It’s okay to go to bed

It’s okay to go to sleep

Believe in me

Or at least believe in something

Cos you never know

When it’s time to say goodbye to your final last hello

You’re gonna miss it if you blink

Lead a dog to water but you just can’t make him drink

So he licks you on the nose

Almost saying it’s okay to just let go
