A remix of an old song I wrote with Rick Paul about my old dog, Virgil, and my old cat, Beanie.
Lying in the window
She looked at him and said
Lately I feel like screaming
The word stuck in my head
He said I can dig it
I’ve heard it many times
It’s a word I know well
Maybe I’ll make it mine
Chorus:
I’m scared of what I don’t know
And scared of what I do
I’m bound by old things
But I long for something new
She said I have a brother
But it has been a while
Most of the time
I feel Like I’m an only child
He said there’s a big place
Waiting for us out there
I found it once or twice
Then I ran back home scared
Chorus:
I’m scared of what I don’t know
And scared of what I do
I’m bound by old things
But I long for something new
Bridge:
And did you know
That when I run Around at night
I keep the front door
In my line of sight
I would just walk away
But there’s just one word
That I really, really, really
Want to say…
Chorus:
I’m scared of what I don’t know
And scared of what I do
I’m bound by old things
But I long for something new
