lyrics

Dogs of New Orleans
Written by Lisa Bastoni
(c)(p) 2019 Sweet Ondine Music (BMI)

Hanging in the air outside your place
Clouds of sugar at a certain time of day
And all your neighbor’s dogs
Come to your front yard
You can try, but you can’t keep them away

Chorus:
All the dogs of New Orleans
Rolling over at your feet
I’ve seen you falling to your knees
To kiss the dogs of New Orleans

Would you forgive me if I stray
I’ve been lost, and I never felt so lonely
You don’t have to take me in
But I could use a friend
And I was hoping you might hold me

Chorus

There’s a hole in your ceiling
And a gun in your top drawer
You don’t have to tell me
But what’d you do that for? What’d you do that for?

Your tin roof trembles with the rain
I know I can’t stay but I’m so glad I came
Just to be by your side, happy to be alive
And satisfied for the moment

Chorus

An intimate look at a brilliant album, it puts an even greater focus on the wonderful lyrics and basic melodies. Interestingly, I now have a new favorite song on the album. PDD
