My dog is as black as night to some people he gives a fright
With jewelled eyes of golden brown you can hear him bark all over town
He warns other don't come near my family and my home are here
Without him we would be lost
...

As she lay in her bed angels around her head
Her breathing was laboured and slow
She heard a sweet voice saw a kind smiling face
say 'come on now, it's time to go,
...

All she has is a handful of tears where she once had a handful of dreams
There is no-one to listen and nobody cares that's the way that it seems
She looks in the mirror and stares into her eyes
They reflect someone back she can't recognise
...
