Unconditional paws

A song about the fact that you can always rely on the love and warmth of a pet friend. Disclaimer: I make this music as a hobby, and it is digitally produced.

Lyrics: [Intro] [Verse] The morning scratches at the hollow wood A steady heartbeat near my resting head No complex maps to make it understood Just simple warmth upon the cotton bed You do not ask for secrets kept in dark You only watch the shadows on the wall A velvet nudge becomes a quiet spark The only hand that catches when I fall [Verse] You track the dust motes dancing in the light The world outside is jagged cold and wide But here the heavy day is feeling light With nowhere left for lonely thoughts to hide The silver bell that jingles on your neck Is all the clock I need to tell the time Repairing every tiny mental wreck Without a reason or a reasoned rhyme [Chorus] The love a pet can give is pure and deep A promise kept while all the humans sleep It does not lean on words that break or bend It stays until the very bitter end A bridge across the silence of the soul The fragment that can make the broken whole [Bridge] They say that grace is found in holy books But I have seen it in those steady eyes Beyond the judgment of the public looks Underneath the heavy winter skies No ego waits to claim a hollow prize Just a living spirit stripped of lies [Verse] The keys are rattling by the heavy door A frantic dance of joy upon the tile I drop my heavy bags upon the floor And find the strength to find a weary smile You offer up a spirit thin and bright To guide me through the labyrinth of the house A tiny guardian of the fading light As quiet as a winter-hidden mouse [Pre-Chorus] The city screams its metal songs of greed But you are all the kindness that I need A gentle pulse against my tired palm The center of a vast and sudden calm [Chorus] The love a pet can give is pure and deep A promise kept while all the humans sleep It does not lean on words that break or bend It stays until the very bitter end A bridge across the silence of the soul The fragment that can make the broken whole [Outro]
