Dog Years from Further Afield by Voice Of The Rain

I'm the someone on the edge of your life
And though you don't know me you know what I'm like
A crumpled up diviner of fate
Who knows recognition will always come late

And I want to sing my radio blues
But no one will listen to yesterday's news
And if I start up on the end of the world
We're all deaf to a future we've already heard

Not today, we'll keep it in mind and then wish it away
But if I've known it, you'll know it
You can't hang on to what you're meant to lose
The dog years run away with you

And I know you throw a little cash in my cup
Thinking the devil take you, I feel sure he will do
Now that heavens booked up
We're trying to find ourselves by shedding our guilt
But we've got a taste for the tragic
And we're drinking our fill and singing

Not today, we'll bear it in mind just to wish it away
But if I've seen it, you'll see it
You can't hang on to what you're meant to lose
The dog years run away with you


Not today, we'll keep it in mind just to wish it away
But if I've learnt it, you'll learn it
You can't hang on to what you're meant to lose
The dog years run away with you
