This old grey dog was born to run
Now he's on the floor
Where he sleeps all day
But that's alright
Cause he's dreaming of the days
When he could fly
This old grey dog has had his day
Now he'll have his night
Ah, but that's ok; that's alright
Cause he's dreaming of the days
When he could fly
Down, boy
You're too old to be jumpin' for joy
Turn your eyes to me
So clouded they barely can see
That you've grown
Much older than dogs get to be
Come and take just one last walk with me
This old grey dog was born to run
Now he's on the floor
Where he sleeps all day
But that's alright
Cause he's dreaming of the days
When he could fly
Down, boy
You're too old to be jumpin' for joy
Turn your eyes to me
So clouded they barely can see
That you've grown
(Even tie you)
Much older than dogs get to be
(Even tie you)
Come and take this one last walk with me
We could not even tie you up
(We could not even tie you up)
This is the place where the old ones go
When we know there is no choice
Don't be afraid to die alone
I made sure to bring all your toys
You are the last I'd ever kill
Unless I believed what I believe will
Be the way for no more pain
A lesser evil
(Evil)
(Evil)
(Evil)
(Evil)
Now he sleeps all day
But that's alright
Cause he's dreaming of the days
When he could fly
Down, boy
You're too old to be jumpin' for joy
Turn your eyes to me
So clouded they barely can see
That you've grown
(Could not even tie you)
Much older than dogs get to be
(Even tie you)
Come and take just one last walk with me
We could not even tie you up
(Even tie you)
(Even tie you)
(Even tie you)
(Even tie you)
(We could not even tie you)
(We could not even tie you)
(We could not even tie you)
(We could not even tie you)
We could not even tie you up
