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
