A Martinez - Love Dog Lyrics

The wind is high
The moon is low
The dog knows where he wants to go
Throws his lonely voice out in the night
To fly to you and hope you hear it
And care enough to quickly clear it
Guide him till he gets you in his sight

It's the boneyard at midnight
Fit to bring the beast alive
Part your weary lover from his load
A thousand eyes will criticize it
You got that thing and you will not disguise it
Baby leave your collar by the road
Come to find your

Love Dog
In the heart of the night
Love Dog
Come to make that thing alright
You turn and see his face above
He's your Dog of Love

His teeth are hard
His back is strong
He's in as deep as night is long
You throw your daily caution to the wind
Long ago there were people livin'
Soul to soul in this kind of givin'
Will you ever know his like again?
He's your

Love Dog
He's the king of the night
Love Dog
Come to make that thing alright
You turn and meet his mouth above
He's your dog of love
Love Dog
In the heart of the night
Love Dog
Keeper of that precious light
You believe in him and he believes in you
He's the dog you do

Time falls like water on fire in the heart
Wearing till passion is tame
But night after night after night after night
You bring your faith to the flame
Darlin' you bring the strength of your faith
To the flame

Long ago there were people livin'
Soul to soul in this kind of givin'
Will you ever know his like again?
From what you're hearin'
He should be fearin'
Whole lotta talkin' that he's disappearin'
But the

Love Dog
Is still king of the night
Love Dog
Come to make that thing alright
You turn and kiss the stars above
For your dog of love
Love Dog
In the heart of the night
Love Dog
How did Heaven ever get so tight?
The way that he keeps lovin' you
There ain't nothin' you won't do

He made a fire in a circle of stone
You felt the fire and you made that fire your own
And you keep it burnin' till the mornin' light
With the king of the night
