The Man and The Dog

[Verse 1]
Before the ice could yield,
before the first green blade,
you found my hungry hand
beside the fire we made.

You were all ribs and rain,
I was all bone and cold,
but you watched my hollow eyes
like a vow you’d hold.

[Pre-Chorus]
We learned the same old truth
on the edge of the dark:
one breath, one trail,
one beating heart.

[Chorus]
The Man and The Dog,
The Man and The Dog,
we kept on walking
through the long, long thaw.

The Man and The Dog,
The Man and The Dog,
we built our future
with paw and palm.

(Keep walking)
(Keep walking)

[Verse 2]
When stone became a wall,
when wheels began to turn,
when names were carved in dust
and old bonfires burned,

you ran through wolf and storm,
I split the field with steel,
and every scar we wore
proved what we could heal.

[Pre-Chorus]
No king could pull us apart,
no winter could make us bend,
we kept the same slow promise
to the very end.

[Chorus]
The Man and The Dog,
The Man and The Dog,
we kept on walking
through the long, long thaw.

The Man and The Dog,
The Man and The Dog,
we built our future
with paw and palm.

(Keep walking)
(Keep walking)

[Bridge]
Before the map was drawn,
before the far seas sang,
before the towers rose
and the old world changed,

you knew my breathing
better than my name,
and I knew your silence
spoke the same.

[Final Chorus]
The Man and The Dog,
The Man and The Dog,
we kept on walking
through the long, long thaw.

The Man and The Dog,
The Man and The Dog,
from first lost morning
to the final star.

The Man and The Dog,
The Man and The Dog,
we leave together
the way we came.

(Keep walking)
(Keep walking)
