Lyrics

 
	      PUNK
		  
Verse 1
Who is this half pint punk with the pointed teeth?
The way she looks at me like I’m the only one she ever wanted to be with…
She draws me in with attention, 
with a sound a move or a glance in my direction.
She’s just a very special kind of girl.

Verse 2
So many times we’ve walked around the lake,
Breathing in the moment with each other, just together at the close of day.
And when we go to the park, 
she would be so kind all her friends together, none behind.
They love the way she holds them in her heart.

Verse 3
Where did my best friend go on Friday night?
We were having such a good time only ten days ago.
When from somewhere inside there arose uncontrolled, 
a voracious beast with no care for the love that we shared.
It took her very quickly from my world.

Outro
Now I sit here alone without my friend and it seems so weird every sound has lost it’s meaning. I really miss the thumping of her tail.
