Golden Paw in Charleston

[Verse] Under the maple trees, we took a stroll, Golden fur glistening like sunshine's gold. By Charleston Lake, the water's cool and deep, But hidden rocks lay there, sharp and steep. [Verse 2] My faithful buddy, my old golden friend, Splashed in the lake where the clear waters bend. A howl of pain, a cut to the bone, That back paw of his now made us both groan. [Chorus] Oh my golden boy, running wild and free, In the heart of Canada, just you and me. Though your paw got cut, we'll find our way, In the echoes of Charleston Lake, we'll play. [Verse 3] We found some gauze and a cloth to bind, Wrapped it up gently, we took our time. Under the stars and the Northerly winds, Healing together where our journey begins. [Chorus] Oh my golden boy, running wild and free, In the heart of Canada, just you and me. Though your paw got cut, we'll find our way, In the echoes of Charleston Lake, we'll play. [Bridge] A faithful friend, with a heart of gold, Through the hills and valleys, our stories told. We'll heal together, all wounds mend, With the love of a master and his faithful friend.
