I was hungry and I was cold , had a father far too old

Couldn't make it to the place he'd like to be

In a treetrunk in the park , he was living in the dark

Keeping other dogs like him for company

In the evening I'd go down to a nightclub in the town

Try to get some bread to make another way

Back to the park I'd go , dig him out of the snow

You know he's lived a thousand years day to day

Well , the days get shorter and the nights get longer

And you never learn to know

If you love one another , could you look at each other

Could it ever really show

And at this moment in time you couldn't make up your mind

Now could you ever understand

Are you following me just like Moses to the sea

Do you think I'll give you freedom in the end

When I'm long dead and gone will your love for me go on

Will I be the one you run to in the end

And all my dogs need a friend

It was a quarter to three in the summer of '73

When I heard somebody call outside my door

Said "Are you friend or are you foe"

He looked up and he said "no, but I'd like to come inside and know you more"

Well the days get shorter and the nights get longer

And you never learn to know

If you love one another , could you look at each other

Could it ever really show

And at this moment in time you couldn't make up your mind

Now could you ever understand

Are you following me just like Moses to the sea

Do you think I'll give you freedom in the end

When I'm long dead and gone will your love for me go on

Will I be the one you run to in the end

And all my dogs need a friend

Need a friend
