HEATHER NOVA - Sleeping Dogs lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Winter's upon us now in all its grace and charm.

Fire in the hearth, but will u keep me safe and warm?

The dogs are sleepin', they say let the sleepin' dogs lie

But I say wake 'em up and see if they can fly.

(Chorus)

I want u to want me like the river wants the sea.

I want u to want to roll downstream with me.

(Verse 2)

I watch your face, the way it lights up to the sound

Of music, but do u still want me around?

The dreams you're livin' in, in ur darkest hour

Like the scent of jasmine, now they've got u in their power

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)

We were young with our hair all hangin' down

Ridin' the night bus through the grit and glitter of the town

Now the dogs are sleepin', they say let the sleepin' dogs lie

But I say wake 'em up and see if they can fly

(Chorus Variation)

I want u to want me like the river (like the river)

Wants the sea (wants the sea)

I want u to want to roll downstream with me

Roll downstream with me
