Dogs — текст песни (The Bee Gees)

I was hungry and I was cold , had a father far too old
Couldn`t make it to the place he`d like to be
In a treetrunk in the park , he was living in the dark
Keeping other dogs like him for company

In the evening I`d go down to a nightclub in the town
Try to get some bread to make another way
Back to the park I`d go , dig him out of the snow
You know he`s lived a thousand years day to day

Well , the days get shorter and the nights get longer
And you never learn to know
If you love one another , could you look at each other
Could it ever really show
And at this moment in time you couldn`t make up your mind
Now could you ever understand
Are you following me just like Moses to the sea
Do you think I`ll give you freedom in the end
When I`m long dead and gone will your love for me go on
Will I be the one you run to in the end
And all my dogs need a friend

It was a quarter to three in the summer of `73
When I heard somebody call outside my door
Said "Are you friend or are you foe"
He looked up and he said "no, but I`d like to come inside and know you more"

Well the days get shorter and the nights get longer
And you never learn to know
If you love one another , could you look at each other
Could it ever really show
And at this moment in time you couldn`t make up your mind
Now could you ever understand
Are you following me just like Moses to the sea
Do you think I`ll give you freedom in the end
When I`m long dead and gone will your love for me go on
Will I be the one you run to in the end
And all my dogs need a friend

Need a friend
Need a friend
