The Dogs of Night

If the dogs of night bark at you as you lay in bed
Tossing and turning, trying to sleep,
Open the window and bark back.
And if the dogs of night begin to weep,
Open your window
And sing a song to make them sleep.
And if the dogs of night howl at the sky,
Open your window and look at the moon.
It is full, and bright, and you too will howl
For a lover that lies nearer than you think.
