about

Its hard to say what a dog is thinking but here goes...

lyrics

Watch out now you've shown your colors,
Looks like you want to hurt my brother.
I will not wait or hesitate to show you my teeth.
I am not the shoulder you cry on.
The hug you hope for. The daughter you die on.
I'm not afraid to take my blade from its sheath.

I am your protector in the dark of the night.
I will do so whether its wrong or its right.
When I'm gone and no longer by your side.
You will still not know the meaning of my love.
I know you want to but you just ain't gonna be able to figure out the meaning of this here love.

Yea you raised me. Sent me to school.
Bathed and fed me and wiped up my drool,
But I've long been your elder and honey you know it to be true.
You say there's another (Toto). Say he's your friend.
Call him your baby. Go on pretend.
You may have gone and gotten him. But we all know there's only one who gets you!

I am your protector in the dark of the night.
I will do so whether its wrong or its right.
When I'm gone and no longer by your side.
You will still not know the meaning of my love.
Well you can scratch your head till it bleeds but you won't be able to know the meaning of this here love.

You count time. You got doors that lock.
You know how to sing and we all know you can talk.
You can write your name down but you don't even know your own bones.
Me, I see the sunrise while I sleep.
There ain't no memory my nose don't keep.
I can hear you calling from a mile away and hell no I don't need no phone.

I am your protector in the deep dark night.
I will do so whether its wrong or its right.
When I'm gone and no longer by your side.
You will still not know the meaning of my love.
You can try but what really is the meaning of this here love?

When I pass and your feet get cold.
When all my blankets have been bought or sold.
Well your heart, it may fail you, and your ears, they may ring.
Don't you fret don't you worry none.
You just weren't meant to figure out this one.
You are just a man baby and your brain cannot explain such a simple thing.

I will still be your protector in the dark of the night.
I will still know when you do wrong and when you do right.
And though I'm gone and no longer by your side.
You will still be able to feel my love.
If you have any sense at all well then the one thing you're gonna remember is the meaning of this here love.
