Coleen, you were the wave last night
With rabid eyes and your rain soaked pride
Nursing a sting from the one you love
While you bite your tongue until you taste blood
Black gums numb till you taste the sun

'Cause dead retrievers are all golden
'Cause dead retrievers are all golden

Dan Dorsey haunted my dreams last night
first time we've talked since he lost his life
with our family labrador at his side
sometimes I wish I was the one who died
black gums numb till you taste the sun

'Cause dead retrievers are all golden
'Cause dead retrievers are all golden
'Cause dead retrievers are all golden
'Cause dead retrievers are all golden
