Dogsong Aka Sleep Dog Lullaby Lyrics - Be Good Tanyas

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
