dog kennel lane

from Summer's Last Hurrah by The Low Countries

lyrics

The streetlights burnt through broken glass, through amber shadows beggars passed
Upon the road dreams were slain
As drizzle swept upon your face an endless night took hold of the place
A place called Dog Kennel Lane

Two lovers should have met that night, I wanted you and you just might
Have felt the way things should have been.
Don’t feel for me I’ll take the blame, we never could’ve seen things the same
That night in Dog Kennel Lane

People ran they couldn’t stand the deathly touch of her hand
Pools of ice once fell as rain.
She knocked me down with a stare, trapped me in her poison lair;
One time in Dog Kennel Lane

Down the lane where darkness rules, down and out of view
A lonely figure once a fool used to dream of you
The air is rich the night is old the lane it can’t forget
He walks alone he’ll never find a stranger he once met…

In my arms Miss Fortune layed, a crowd of empty bottle played
To the tune of the cutting breeze.
I place her battered soul to rest upon the earth which she had blessed
And watched her dark eyes freeze.

Instrumental

Her rivers ran so deep and cold, ran so strong and broke my hold
I’ll never walk that street again.
I guess somewhere our signals crossed, I tried to know but just got lost
Somewhere in Dog Kennel Lane
One time in Dog Kennel Lane
Somewhere in Dog Kennel Lane
