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 down stream with me.

i watch your face, the way it lights up with 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 down stream with me

we were young with our hair all hanging down,
riding the night bus through the glitter and blitter of the town.

now the dog's 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 down stream with me
