Barking at the Moon

It’s a question unanswered as it floats unaware,
I never answered the question ‘cause I’m deaf in one ear.

I’m no stray dog barking at the moon,
It’s just me being lonely in my drafty bedroom,
‘Cause you said you’d be back, and I believed what you said,
Now I sleep alone with my book, but not one page I’ve read.

I don’t mean to be bashful, I don’t mean to be shy,
I’d love to have another drink, but I’m already too damn high,
My days have been antsy, my nights have been long,
If I weren’t a man of passion, I’d just chug along.

The question looms over me, like a shroud in the sky,
It tickles my senses as it seems to pass by,
It has nothing to give, no truth to behold,
It seeks just one truthful answer, as we both grow too old.

Are you hiding from me as the years pass us by?
They are scattered about and there’s no reason why,
It seems like ten years but just one that has passed,
I can’t remember all of them, but can remember the last.

So the hell with you, I’ve been lamenting far too long,
I’m more than who you think I am, I’m just no tag-along.
You think you can escape from me by hiding in your blue-blood cloud,
You’ll never free yourself from me, hiding in your shroud.

I`m no stray dog barking at the moon,
It’s just me being lonely, in my drafty bedroom,
‘Cause you said that you’d be back, and I believed what you said,
Now I sleep alone with my book, but not one page I’ve read.

​I’m no stray dog barking at the moon

‘Cause you said that you’d be back, and I believed what you said,
Now I sleep alone with my book, but not one page I’ve read.
