Robyn Landis: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

Imagine John Prine--aged, alone, abandoned on the farm. Not that I wish this on him. I love John Prine. But it's his voice I hear with these images.

HEY, DOG

Hey dog
where you gone?
You've been gone
way too long

Hey dog
Can't you see
No one's left
here but me

Another day is done
another friend has cut and run

Hey darlin'
Where you gone?
You've been gone
way too long

Hey darlin'
Can't you see
No one's left
here but me

The highway goes so far
I don't know where you are

Hey mama
where you gone?
You've been gone
way too long

Hey mama
Can't you see
No one's left
here but me

The boy I used to be
I feel your arms holding me

Hey God
where you gone?
You've been gone
way too long

Hey God
What were you thinking of
taking back everything I loved

Another setting sun
Another day I ain't seen no one

Hey dog....

(bridge)
This house don't seem the same
As when those kids were playin'
Out there in those ragged weeds
Now that field has gone to seed

And the paint is peelin'
I ain't feeling nothing
anymore

Hey dog
where you gone?
You've been gone
way too long

Hey dog
Can't you see
No one's left
here but me

Hey dog
Can't you see
No one's left
here but me
