DIESEL

Intro

Acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

I remember the first time I heard your sound,

You loved to talk, jumping all around.

With ears perked up, you'd begin to pace,

"Are we going for a walk?" lit up your face.

Running on the beach, splashing in the blue,

Every step was an adventure, fresh and new.

A magnificent Malamute, strong and grand,

The best companion in this whole wide land.

Chorus

Oh, Diesel, my best mate, through eleven years we grew,

A piece of my heart will always be with you.

Your unconditional love, a light so bright,

You filled my world with joy and pure delight.

Verse 2

You followed me always, a shadow close by,

Underneath the wide and open sky.

Just a loving touch, or a gentle pat,

Made you the happiest dog, I knew that.

But walk time excitement, a sight to behold,

Stories of your joy will forever be told.

Playing chasing, "can you get my teddy off me now?",

Eating cheese, always knowing how.

Chorus

Oh, Diesel, my best mate, through eleven years we grew,

A piece of my heart will always be with you.

Your unconditional love, a light so bright,

You filled my world with joy and pure delight.

Bridge

Thank you for eleven years, a love so true,

More than just a dog, you saw me through.

Go run free now, no more pain to bear,

I'll carry your love, an eternal prayer.

Every cuddle, every talk, every wag,

I'll see you again at heaven's gate.

Instrumental

Banjo solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Diesel, my best mate, through eleven years we grew,

A piece of my heart will always be with you.

Your unconditional love, a light so bright,

You filled my world with joy and pure delight.

Outro

Now you're running on beaches, through fields so wide,

Eating cheese, with nothing left to hide.

Chasing shadows in the endless sun,

My beautiful boy, your race is won.

Outro - guitar fade
