Sleeping Dogs - Heather Nova

Winter’s upon us now in all its grace and charm

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

The dogs are sleeping;

they say let the sleeping dogs lie

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

I want you to want me

Like the river wants the sea

I want you to want to

Roll downstream with me

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

Of music, but do you still want me around?

The dreams you’re living in, in your darkest hour

Like the scent of jasmine, now they’ve got you in their power

I want you to want me

Like the river wants the sea

I want you to want to

Roll downstream with me

We were young with our hair all hanging down

Riding the night bus through the grit and glitter of the town

Now the dogs are sleeping;

they say let the sleeping dogs lie

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

I want you to want me

Like the river (like the river)

Wants the sea (wants the sea)

I want you to want to

Roll downstream with me

Roll downstream with me
