Lyrics
Give a stocking to my golden retriever
Maybe he can find my girl
Never had the will to love or leave her
And she took off 'round the world
But that happened oh so long ago
The stage has changed, so has the show
There's more than clothes she left behind
Sweet memories stored in my mind
Retriever retriever
Ex-lovers are strangers
Retriever retriever
Time rearranges
Retriever retriever
Now I discover
I really loved her
Winter sun shines on my golden retriever
Running on the open field
Where is my girl?
How I wish I could see her
Now I?d have no fear to shield
I gave her a necklace, a butterfly wing
But in her eyes I was a sometimes thing
All I gave her was love on loan
She wanted something stronger than stone
