Saint Bernard Lyrics - Carousel One - Ron Sexsmith

There's a portrait on my wall 

A map of a friend 

Confer to where I call 

On whom I can depend 

My imaginary back door 

I have a saint Bernard 

Oh my lord 

In my big backyard 

La la, la la la 

La la, la la la 

Dispatches from the pound 

I recieve in my dreams 

Black tears of white and brown 

That's a rip on the scheme 

And life won't seem to hard 

If I had a Saint Bernard 

Oh my Lord 

It wouldn't be so hard 

La la, la la la 

La la, la la la 

Who else is going to rescue me when I'm face down in the snow? 

No other dog looks a bit like me 

I'm feeling 

Or unwilling 

Unable to make the show 

In my imaginary backyard 

There's a flask around his neck 

A brandy for me 

Sip on as I reflect 

On your mortality 

Like a four legged Minnie Maud 

I'm talking Saint Bernard 

On a four 

He's my minnie maud 

La la, la la la 

La la, la la la 

I'm talking Saint Bernard 

La la, la la la 

La la, la la la
