ONLY THE WIND


A memorial salute to a canine member of the family that we miss.

Only The Wind

He's under every table for scraps on my plate
His bone's in the yard looking well masticated
In the back of my mind something doesn't fit in
when the noise at the back door is only the wind

He's across every river from here to the Stein
And with each cat that is frozen in a pose that's all spine
it's gonna take me some time for my world not to spin
when the noise at the back door is only the wind

He tore along the landscape ahead of my truck
Covered 80 odd clicks to Penticton
He reminded the racoons not to mess with a wolf
'cause they're keepin' it gangster in his jurisdiction
Poor guy!

He's around every corner, it's like he's still here
His blanket feels cold but my nose swears he's near
It'll take me some time for it all to sink in
that any noise at the back door is only the wind
