Lyrics: At midnight, the dogs Gathered around the house ‘Round her house Her heart was like a drawer She only opened when she went Out to feed those dogs, and let Her memories bathe in the moonlight for a while
Those were the dogs Owned by the girls who died In that house Meeting every night Keeping vigil in the place Where their people went away
And so she’d wake the rest of her nights In that house Feeding all the hounds at its mouth
On her first night Wandering through the dark Of her new house Solemn as a bride That’s when she first saw them out the kitchen window Right at twelve o’clock A dozen silent dogs of all different type
She almost was One of the girls who died In that house So when it was stigmatized She took it on to start a new life In that house Be the token coin in its mouth
Maybe with enough time tending to that ground She can heal the heart of her house Feeding all the hounds at its mouth
