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
