lyrics

Sun Dog
Follows his master into the
New day they're shining with laughter
On the horizon oh Sun Dog won't you run with me

In the
Fields of the sky you are baying,
Angels on high listen to you,
They say you say you remi - ind them of the Hound of Heaven

There is no prey so swift
Or cunning that can fly
There is no hiding from those eyes
But those eyes they do not gleam
In judgment or in spite
This Hound will chase you from darkness into light

Hound of
Heaven pursue me for I am
Lost in this forest that I have
Sown with these two twisted gardener's hands, they hinder me

There is no prey so swift
Or cunning that can fly-y-y
There is no hiding from those eyes
But those eyes they do not gleam
In judgment or in spite
This Hound will chase you from darkness into light

Sun Dog
Remember the one that you follow
Remember the master who calls you
Remember the Hound of Hounds who came before you
