Dogs And Thunder Letra

So now it's 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-assed 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
Backhouse 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 Sarah, but I gotta go"
And I was trying to read some subtle reaction
It's something you just can't show
So I guess it's time I go

Across the snowy barnyard just past the driving 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
And 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
Backhouse 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
