Lyrics

Just an old dog that died today
Just an old man with nothing left to say
And all the reasons don't really matter anyway
Every creature good or sweet's sure to pass away

Just a cold day, no sun to shine
He takes no pleasure in his food or in his wine
And all the years just blur together in his mind
There's a sad end for every good friend down the line

Yeah, a new sun rises every day
Children run and fall and laugh and cry and play
People kiss and fall in love and say they'll stay
While that old man slowly slips away
Just an old dog that died today

Just an old dream that finally died
Just a dead end on a lonely ride
A sweet muse called him, but in the end she must have lied
So he shut it down and just holds his ground inside

Just a blue world that slowly spins
A day begins and somewhere else a long day ends
And no one really listens, and no one makes amends
For out tears or for our fears or for our sins

Yeah, a new sun rises every day
Children run and fall and laugh and cry and play
People kiss and fall in love and say they'll stay
While that old man slowly slips away
Just an old dream that died today

Just an old friend that finally died
Just an old man grown hard and cold inside
No one there to hold him when he finally broke and cried
But as his tears flowed, some kind of new road opened wide

Yeah, a new sun rises every day
Children run and fall and laugh and cry and play
People kiss and fall in love and say they'll stay
While that old man finds a prayer to say
For that old friend that died today
