[00:01.361] [Verse 1]
[00:54.808] She's fast asleep at Woden's feet
[01:02.950] Whilst alms I seek from thronging fairfolk
[01:12.512] As a whelp fast to the teat
[01:19.622] She smote me then
[01:25.841] We've ever since been shadows
[01:34.540] Two beasts of one old soul
[01:53.270]
[01:57.325] [Verse 2]
[02:14.264] If you rely on the kindness of strangers
[02:22.244] It helps to have a hound for a handmaid
[02:31.762] Not only for the superior nose
[02:38.875] Or companionship
[02:46.899] Often people stop to talk with me
[02:54.226] Having never seen before such a very beautiful snow-coloured collie
[03:06.751]
[03:08.858] [Verse 3]
[03:36.407] Working the fell - a most powerful eye
[03:44.222] Part of the grass, fast as a lightning
[03:53.674] Before the children were grown
[04:00.622] They'd ride her like a pony
[04:08.118] Through the nodding banners yesterday
[04:15.709] She went in chase of a ship's rat
[04:24.176] At my wit's end I finally located her
[04:32.820] Under a whining bush, my poor old lady, seized by a fit
[04:47.627]
[04:49.747] [Verse 4]
[05:04.963] When the raiders came in their flaming carriages
[05:13.188] She went running to her family
[05:22.023] While I listened on, cowering behind a pile of logs
[05:40.124] There's no denying it
[05:48.251]
[05:49.091] I sold my shoes so I could buy a chicken
[05:57.212] A penance and a treat on her final day
[06:05.355]
[06:06.082] Now she is gone I carry her down to the sea
[06:14.320] And scream to the sinking stars
[06:18.530] "Can you ever forgive me?"
