As Hours Go By

(With apologies to Marianne Faithful - 'As Tears Go By')

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the puppies play
Doing things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and watch as hours go by.

In swirling waters deep they romp and play
They splash and woof the passing hours away
But now it's time to head back home
To find their dins and a parsley bone
I sit and watch as hours go by.
