Sleeping with the Dog

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
