The Be Good Tanyas - Dogsong aka Sleep Dog Lullaby lyrics

All the dogs are haunted And the snow melts on the gra** 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
