Dead Dog Song Lyrics - Singles - Okkervil River

Sam, bless him, has died and left this home 

The woodchucks running wild, the bushes overgrown 

Slip unseen into the skein of trees 

Slide through dusky grasses and scatter his ashes 

Oh, it's all over, he's never coming back 

There'll be no more roaming 

He was only here for fourteen years 

And now the branches scratch my face and I can't hold back my tears 

Long ago I'd see him running in the snow 

He'd come in from the cold and he'd lie down by the stove 

Pass along this loping road 

The needley grasp of briars on the slope

Oh, it's all over, he's never coming back 

There'll be no more roaming 

He was only here for fourteen years 

And now the branches scratch my face and I can't hold back my tears 

He'd never been to church, so he doesn't have a soul 

He isn't waiting at the place where all of us will go 

But the woodchucks wouldn't run so wild 

The bushes wouldn't be so overgrown if we were not alone 

Bound unbound through the boundless air, remaining wisps of hair 

Barking out through everywhere 

The trees, the grass, the rain 

And Sam in the air 

Oh, it's all over, he ain't never coming back 

There'll be no more roaming 

He was in this world, by my side he was curled 

But he came uncurled and this world holds him that much tighter 

Photos 

That much tighter, that much tighter 

That much tighter, that much tighter 

Tighter, tighter, tighter, tighter 

Tighter, tighter, tighter, tighter, oh
