Dogson (sleep dog lullaby)

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 they wander freely

Through the streets of long gone dreams

Drift like ghosts down the backroads

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
