Hunting Dog

(album: Cala - 2019)

A hunting dog
Lights that turn on
Just by the park

Your bomber coat
Chip in your tooth
I pine and I swoon

Oh I'm swimming
Towards the lights on the headland

When we speak
Gold white and blue
Circles our eyes

You tattooed my name
In Indian ink
On your collar bone

Oh I'm swimming
Towards the lights on the headland

Home
I need to find
A way to float

Home
Be here tonight
Brooklyn Bridge

Home
The phones are down
It's New Year's Eve

Home
You cut me when
You said you'd leave

(O-oh oh oh)

Hunting dog is a constellation
Of frozen words in the conversation
Say I'll hold out for you
If you hold out for me too

(O-oh oh oh)

Hunting dog is a constellation
