Goodbye Ziggy
He was the last, and now his gone
His body lies beneath the ground
No longer here for me to love
No longer can I will him stay
He was the last of a long long line
Of pets I’ve had since the beginning of time
He was the last, and I miss him
No tail that wags, no welcoming din
The black blanket of night
Is all around me
I can’t sleep with the memories
I can’t feel just any one thing
My head is still aching
From days of unrest
And my body is shaking
From memories at best
Fourteen years I loved that dog
My marriage gone and children grown
He stayed with me with heart and soul
Him and me is what I know
Its hard you know, when I come home
Not to hear his welcoming sounds
Not to have him at my side
No ear to scratch in the dark of night
I wanted him so much to stay
I didn’t want to face this day
I know some time we’ll meet again
When I’m through this earthly thing
There is only one thing left to say
And that is Goodbye Ziggy babe
I loved you then, I love you now
I miss you more than you will know
