I Told Him That My Dog Wouldn't Run Lyrics

(Song is written by Patty Larkin, recorded by Holly Cole)

I told him my dog wouldn't run
I told him that I loved someone
Yeah, that's my old car out in the parking lot

I saw him when I first walked in
I thought it was a vision of him
He was looking like where he had been
He was looking kind of fragile

He said "I read the Bible everyday
To try to keep the demons at bay
Thank God when the sun goes down
I don't blow away."

My friend said "Was he always like that?"
I said, "Yeah, but he was never this bad."
I remember us playing for nickles and dimes out on the corner

I asked him to marry me once
He told me he couldn't because
This would be all that there was Holly Cole - I Told Him That My Dog Wouldn't Run - http://motolyrics.com/holly-cole/i-told-him-that-my-dog-wouldnt-run-lyrics.html

He said "I read the Bible everyday
Tryin' to keep the demons at bay
Thank God when the sun goes down
I don't blow away."

I was laughing but I didn't get the joke
I was dying to light up a smoke
And I wanted to cry in the flourescent lights of the restaurant.

I smiled as I got up to go
I was hoping for a goodbye to hold
Kinda like touching a ghost,
So I ran when I walked out.

He said "I read the Bible everyday
Tryin' to keep the demons at bay
Thank God when the sun goes down
I don't blow away."

I got in my car and I drove
Over the bridge to the coast
Wondering, "Where does old love go?"
