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
