Dogsong aka 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 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
