Howling at your door

Riaan Smit 1988 (Windhoek)



I thought I thought
I was a hard man
but everything
didn't work out as planned

cos babe I'm missing you
more and more
I'm thinking of you
more and more
don't you hear me now babe
I'm a howling at your door
I'm a howling at your door

I thought I thought
I can handle this better
but my hearts brittle babe
and light as a feather

cos babe I'm missing you
more and more
and I'm thinking of you
more and more
don't you hear me now babe
I'm a howling at your door
I'm a howling at your door

I thought I thought
that i couldn't let you know
how much I want you
to you throw this dog a bone

cos babe I'm missing you
more and more
and I'm thinking of you
more and more
don't you hear me now babe
I'm a howling at your door
I'm a howling at your door
