Dogsong 2

All the dogs are haunted
And the snow melts on the grass
You were what I wanted
But the fever could not lastIn the day, I am dreaming
In the night, I am cold
While the stars are up there singing
All the dogs are growing oldNo regrets, they're out the window
Frozen on the silver pane
Gone like winter, let the wind blow
Let the dogs howl at the rainIn the day, I am dreaming
In the night, I am cold
While the stars are up there singing
All the dogs are growing oldOh, the cats are in the alley
And the rats are on the wire
Time is breathless as a blossom
And it's bursting with desireAnd the dogs wander freely
Through the streets of long gone dreams
Drift like ghosts down the back roads
All the way to New OrleansIn the day, I am dreaming
In the night, I am cold
While the stars are up there singing
All the dogs are growing old
