From the recording Good Old Days
Lyrics
[Intro]
[Male Dog:] “Couldn’t sleep again, too quiet out here.”
[Female Cat:] “Same. Moon’s up. Might as well talk about it.”
[Verse 1 – Male Dog]
Hey there, neighbor, you still awake?
I saw your shadow by the gate
You walk like you don’t really care
But I’ve seen you sittin’ in that kitchen chair
[Verse 2 – Female Cat]
Oh look who’s talkin’, Mister Guard-the-yard
Always barkin’ loud, playin’ bodyguard
But when they scratch your ear just right
You melt faster than the cream in light
[Pre-Chorus – Both]
Funny how we play our parts
Like we don’t both have gentle hearts
When the night gets quiet and kind
We both know what’s on our minds
[Chorus – Both]
While the world’s asleep, we’re dreamin’ too
Two lucky pets with a love so true
They hold me soft, they hold you tight
Different homes, same starlit night
While the world’s asleep, we both agree
They love you your way, they love me mine
That’s how it’s meant to be
[Verse 3 – Male Dog]
My human drives with the windows down
Lets me smell the whole darn town
When thunder hits, he holds me near
Says, “You’re my brave boy, nothin’ to fear.”
[Verse 4 – Female Cat]
My human hums when she’s makin’ tea
She says my purr’s her melody
And when she cries, I find her lap
That’s when she whispers, “Good girl… nap.”
[Bridge – Both, softly]
We may hiss and bark by day
But under the stars, that fades away
You’ve got your moonlight, I’ve got my bone
But love’s the leash that leads us home
[Final Chorus – Duet Harmony]
While the world’s asleep, we’re dreamin’ too
Two lucky pets with a love so true
They hold me soft, they hold you tight
Different homes, same starlit night
While the world’s asleep, we both agree
They love you your way, they love me mine
Yeah… they love you your way, they love me mine
That’s how it’s meant to be
