Companions by Day, Guardians at Night - Lyrics

We walk the streets of Exeter town,
No roof above, just the stars looking down.
People pass by, they don’t understand,
That I’ve got a blessed life with my paw in his hand.

If food is short, I get the first bite
Together we make it through every night.
The streets can be cruel but he holds me tight
Companions by day, guardians at night.

Sleep during the day as the nights are so tough,
The dark brings danger when forced to sleep rough.
When it rains, it soaks deep, nothing ever dries,
But warmth is still here when I look in his eyes.

If food is short, I get the first bite
Together we make it through every night.
The streets can be cruel, but he holds me tight
Companions by day, guardians at night.

I long for the day we get our own home,
No longer the cold, no longer to roam.
He’ll go out to work in an office or factory,
But when he closes the door I know he’ll always come back to me.

We may not have much, but we have love inside,
And one day together, we’ll walk through our own door with pride.
Till that day comes, under moon’s gentle light,
Companions by day, guardians at night.

If food is short, I get the first bite
Together we make it through every night.
The streets can be cruel, but he holds me tight
Companions by day, guardians at night.

If food is short, I get the first bite,
Companions by day, guardians at night.
