Dog's Day (acoustic)

from Between The X's & The O's by Willie Wisely

/

lyrics

It's been a dog's day
Dog's day
The way she tossed her coat across the davenport
Tapped me on the head to quiet my concern

It's been a hound's life
A moon-eyed hound's life
I nudge and nudge the hand that didn't want to play
Jumped up on the lap, the lap that said 'no go away'

I long just to hold her
With words I'd have told her
All the things lovers should say
With lips I'd have kissed her
My lover my master
But she'll never know this dog's day

He's in his wolf clothes
His furry wolf clothes
I've such contempt for all his chocolates and Champagne
That's all he ever brought when he'd drop by to entertain

I long just to hold her
With words I'd have told her
All the gentle things lovers say
With lips I'd have kissed her
My lover my master
But she'll never know this dog's day

For every night he makes her weep
It's one more night my love withers and dies
Dies on the leash

It's such a cold night
Under the porch light
I'll steam the window pane in hopes he'll keep his paws away
I'm sure the cork will pop as her defense evaporates

I long just to hold her
With words I'd console her
With everything sweet lovers could say
With lips I'd have kissed her
And finally convinced
But she'll never know this dog's day

Nope, God didn't make me that way
She'll never know dog's day

Willie Wisely Saint Paul, Minnesota

Equal parts Minnesotan music scene veteran and Laurel Canyon resident/devotee, Willie Wisely remains that rare bird mixing profound power pop with arena-sized showmanship, a troubadour on an all night rave up, a cold kombucha on a hot California day, a McCartney-ite taking a break from his Japanese import of “Ram” for a quick Canyon run listening to João Gilberto. ... more
