A song about a dog

lyrics

Behold him, shivering in the summer sun
Finding himself lone upon unknown land
When the rabbit ran, he did run
And now this mousy hand must plan

His feet patter to the scatter of grass
Here he finds a tree starting a glade
The copse grows thicker, and he sees a flash of light
Filled with fear, he flashes teeth in summer shade

“HARKETH!”…HE BARKETH!

A startled deer fritters through the hedge
And the small dog breathes away his worry
He trots unearthed to the forest’s edge
His mind runs as fast as his feet, hurry.

He launches into a golden field of whistling wheat
Trampling through the straw lined valleys
When he suddenly crashes into a man without feet
He careens and spins, eyes wide and himself he rallies.

“HARKETH!”…HE BARKETH!

A man without motion, he sways in the wind.
A cautious approach, he appears quite humane
The man is made of straw and very dim
Suddenly picks up smell, familiar and faint

He follows his nose, knowing all he knows
He is suddenly flying, airborne and trying
Before he falls, he spots the chimney smoke
The place he belongs to be lying


Tumbling down the winding walls
He splashes into the running creek
He finds his footing, not a moment stalled
His will is hardened, his fear is weak

He charges through the water cold
And begins to climb the muddy slide
His mind is steeled, his heart is gold
His soul is brilliant, His home he holds.

He reaches the peak and over it he peeks
The smoke from the stack beside where he sleeps
He barrels through the file remaining
Sprinting, panting, fear abstaining.

Under the fence he gallops in pride
Steam pours forth from his fiery eyes
Rounding the corner to an open door
Therein he assumes carnage and gore

“HARKETH!”... HE BARKETH!

The girl he loves fliest from the house
Hey eyes full of worry, tears afloat her face.
Cries turn to cries in shortening space
He runs into her familiar embrace.

He has returned to where he belongs
His spot on the floor near the fireplace
But it won't be much too long
That he must protect his humble domain

“HARKETH!”... HE BARKETH!

Double Monk New Brunswick, New Jersey

Good afternoon,
You already know who we are. Born in a New Brunswick Monastery. Long nights in front of square cone speakers and vinyl scratches have rendered us deaf.
Before tinnitus overtook all of our senses, we listened to enough rock, pop, prog and virtual Bible studies to bring you the music you already love but haven’t yet heard. Double Monk. Now Live! on all streaming services. ... more
