Ian Anderson - Sleeping With The Dog lyrics

Her love is like a candle: you light it up at night Her heart is like a pack of cards: one chance to guess it right Sometimes I do She's got a tongue like a viper, but she can whisper like a dove Soft touch like brushed velvet: till she hits you from above And sometimes she does She leaves me breathing: down like a fallen log Just when I feel like dancing I wake up sleeping with the dog And it goes: (woof) sleeping with the dog I have to guess at the mysteries of her unfathomable soul Guess when the time seems right To make a broken spirit whole And that time is due. C'm'on She leaves me breathing: down like a fallen log And just when I feel like dancing I wake up sleeping with the dog And it goes: (woof) sleeping with the dog
