Be Good Tanyas Dogsong Aka Sleep Dog Lullaby Lyrics

Dogsong Aka Sleep Dog Lullaby Lyrics

All the dogs are haunted

And the snow melts on the grass

You were what I wanted

But the fever could not last



In the day, I am dreaming

In the night, I am cold

While the stars are up there singing

All the dogs are growing old



No regrets, they're out the window

Frozen on the silver pane

Gone like winter, let the wind blow

Let the dogs howl at the rain



In the day, I am dreaming

In the night, I am cold

While the stars are up there singing

All the dogs are growing old



Oh, the cats are in the alley

And the rats are on the wire

Time is breathless as a blossom

And it's bursting with desire



And the dogs wander freely

Through the streets of long gone dreams

Drift like ghosts down the back roads

All the way to New Orleans



In the day, I am dreaming

In the night, I am cold

While the stars are up there singing

All the dogs are growing old
