Shadow & Clementine

(John Krane)

BUY THIS SONG ON iTUNES(I asked a bunch of my friends for sad pet stories, this was the saddest...this particular person went to a friend's house, and when she got home her dog was gone, and her parents told her that they gave it away. The name Clementine is from another one of the sad stories. Since writing this song I have found out that the dog died, it was not given away)

Shadow's in the front yard, mom's getting ready to go
I am in the backyard playing in the snow

I don't want to be late gotta put my best shirt on
We're going out now racing across the lawn

If you're still here when I return
I'll say hello to you my friend (Shadow and Clementine again)

It felt like a year had passed
When I got home I raced across the grass
The willow boughs shake as the skies burn as bright as day
Momma say you never need an animal anyway

If you're still here when I return
I'll say hello to you my friend

(middle 8 lyrics by Colin Cronin)
I thought I heard your echo out through the trees
From the sound of things, you were searching for me
But I was wrong again, like I always am
But I will not stop listening 'til I see you again.
