Joveski, your guess is as good as anyone's !
However, even given all of John's chronicling
with impeccably reearched and documented
support of, or at least recordation of URL's
again we attempt to quantify the qualitative..
Just one thought though, as I do have a
metaphorical wrench I do not wish to throw in
the metaphorical works............. :
If it is in fact about a dog, a few words
don't jive in context . Would a sailor
be "dreaming of her kiss?" if she were a dog? -
blechhhh !LOL , and
"waiting for someone to take her hand" - in this
case, a preferred paw ?
- all in good fun.
I have no better offering, though. I remember
that someone mentioned they thought it was a
logical "part II" of the song "Brandy" - [ wore a
chain, made of finest silver, from the North of
Spain" - by Looking glass. Meant in principle
the person who thought this; that is just sounded
like and extension of the same idea.
I,however, would not compare Looking Glass to
Gordon Lightfoot, except perhaps in the vane of
contrasting a flash-in-the-pan "one-hit-wonder".
which is the thread THAT came up in [Brandy], to
a Living Folk Legend Singer/songwriter !
the doggie mystery thread continues...
