Parker, My Soul Dog

J
Jessica Thompson
Soul Tender acoustic ballad with intimate male vocals; soft fingerpicked guitar and airy piano under verses warm pad and light brushed snare blooming in the chorus. Subtle string swells lift key lines with close-mic breathy delivery and hushed harmonies on the hook for a teary nostalgic arc.

Create Your Own

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Little brown ears
Curled at my feet
You learned every secret
I never could speak
Every new chapter
You curled by my side
You watched me fall down
Then you stayed through the climb

[Chorus]
Parker
My soul dog
You carried my heart
You stitched all the broken
And held every part
The house feels so quiet
Since you had to go
Nothing can replace you
I want you to know
Parker
My soul dog
You still feel like home

[Verse 2]
You followed the kids
Down the old hallway
They still say your name
In their games when they play
Your bowl by the doorway
Your hair in my coat
You’re gone
But you linger
In each little note

[Chorus]
Parker
My soul dog
You carried my heart
You stitched all the broken
And held every part
The house feels so quiet
Since you had to go
Nothing can replace you
I want you to know
Parker
My soul dog
You still feel like home

[Bridge]
You changed my life
One day at a time
Soft paws on the floor
Steadying mine
If love has a face
I’ve already seen
It’s you in the doorway
Waiting for me

[Chorus]
Parker
My soul dog
You carried my heart
You stitched all the broken
And held every part
I talk to your collar
Like you’re on the phone
Nothing can replace you
You’re carved in my bones
Parker
My soul dog
You’re still my home (oh)
