Dog Days

Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

Run fast for your mother
Run fast for your father
Run for your children
For your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you
If you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can't you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
