A rifle sits behind her sleeping ear An echo on the cold wall closest neighbor couldn't hear We dug a hole in the fall So now its a frozen burial And she's gone Just before the new year Well I'm gonna build a cross for the spot between the trees And stick it in firm so it won't sway in their breeze Well you and I have trouble making up our half-a**ed minds But she'd seen 16 years of our kind And what's it like when your memories start to freeze Oh and I wonder what it is about dogs and thunder What they hear coming over the fields Back hall shelter warm nights in the summer Shaking the ground that you lie under Well I know you're not here but at least you don't feel it anymore And I came to see you on the day that it happened You said "hey sorry, sar but I gotta go" And I was trying to read some sorta reaction It's something you just can't show So I guess it's time I go Across the snowy barnyard just past the drive-in shed A shadow of me in the moon well, I was in a movie in my head This pile of dirt on the ground Will sink when nobody is around The winter covers everything but everything's not dead Oh and I wonder what it is about dogs and thunder What they hear coming over the fields Back hall shelter warm nights in the summer Shaking the ground that you lie under Well I know you're not here but at least you don't feel it anymore Well I know you're not here but at least you don't feel it anymore Well I know you're not here but at least you don't feel it anymore
