Just to be clear, I did not write the following.
I wanted to share this song because I think it applies to how Brennan was feeling in last night's episode "The Finger in the Nest".
This song is from a musical called, "Lucky Stiff" by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Writers of show like Ragtime, Suessical the Musical, etc.)
I was going to write a song fic with it, but it pretty much speaks for itself.
Enjoy the lyrics and I encourage you to download the song. My favorite version is sung by Christiane Noll.
A friendly face, the kind of face
A friendly face, the kind of face
That melts you with a grin
The kind of eyes that welcome you
The minute you walk in
A tender glance you simply can't refuse
At times like this a girl could use
A dog.
He listens when you tell him things,
There's nothing you can't say
And unlike certain people you can teach him how to stay
And if the world is giving you the blues
He cheers you up by chewing up the news.
It's things like that that make you choose
A dog
Other people need romance, dancing, playing around
Other people need constant fun, well I'm not one
I have my feet on the ground
Give me a quiet night, a stack of books
A tuna melt on rye.
A simple walk together
Underneath the starry sky
And suddenly the night is something rare
And all because there's someone special there.
Who's gazing at the views.
His head upon your shoes.
At times like this, I sure could use
A Dog
