The Dogs & The Horses

The Dogs & The Horses - The Divine Comedy

Sing a happy song

Cause spring does not last long

A flower blooms and then it's gone

Summer follows fast

Make hay while it lasts

Don't ever dwell upon the past

For one day you are here

And the next you are gone

Every horse has its year

And every dog its day my son

So the only thing to feel sad about is

All the dogs and the horses you'll have to outlive

They'll be with you when you say goodbye

Then the fall from grace

The lines upon your face

Grow deeper almost every

Days and weeks roll by

And winter nights draw nigh

And everything that lives must die

For one day you are here

And the next you are gone

Every horse has its year

And every dog its day my son

So the only thing to feel sad about is

All the dogs and the horses you'll have to outlive

They'll be with you when you say goodbye

Goodbye

But as the curtains close

And the last prayers are said

All my dogs and my horses appear round my bed

They have come to say one last goodbye

Goodbye
