Page France – dogs Lyrics 15 years ago
this song is about a young couple that live in a small town that disapproves of their relationship, for whatever reason.

i heard it’s getting windy so i’ll
sit and watch you blow
i will chain you to my boat
i will carry you back home

and i won’t say i love you ‘cause it’s
all been said before
let’s not say it anymore
‘cause love nothin’ here’s for sure

(he starts off with saying how much he loves her)

they treat us like dogs
so we play along
we bark and we moan
and play them our songs
but when we blow away
and get out of this place
we go down like a shout
and up like a prayer

(even though they are looked down upon ("they treat us like dogs") they don't care what anyone else thinks, because they are in love. they even make fun of those looking down on them (" we bark and we moan and play them our songs")

i heard it’s getting windy and we’ll
all be blown away
did you tell me you’re afraid?
darlin’, you look so afraid

(they find out she's pregnant)

i’m not sure what happens when
everything here ends
but i hope its like they said
and i hope it never ends

(remaining hopeful and looking ahead)


they treat us like gold
dug up to be sold
we shine and we shake
assuming our roles
and when we blow away
up over this place
we go down like a shout
and up like a praise

(talk of leaving the town where they don't belong)

i know its hard to see me, darlin’
let your eyes adjust
if you go blind just trust
you were made out of my dust
i was made out of your dust
and the wind will carry us
in the ocean’s evening gusts
up above the mountain tops

(he talks her through the birth of their child, grasping to dig down for more words of encouragement.)

he will have the both of us
(they become a family)
