[Verse 1] Sleeping dog on a sofa One ear folded flat Little paws in the sunlight Like he worked hard at that Old blue blanket on the cushion Nose tucked in his tail House so quiet I can hear him Breathe a soft, slow trail [Pre-Chorus] Don’t move, don’t move Let the moment stay Soft as dust in the morning Drifting through the day [Chorus] Sleeping dog on a sofa (Sleeping dog on a sofa) Dreaming in the shade He keeps my whole room tender He keeps the world at bay Sleeping dog on a sofa (Sleeping dog on a sofa) I could sit here all night Just to watch him stay [Verse 2] One long stretch, then stillness A twitch in his right paw Maybe he’s chasing rabbits Down some golden hall There’s a bowl by the table Half a toy in red But he’s somewhere far away now With the best dreams in his head [Pre-Chorus] Don’t move, don’t move Let the moment stay Soft as dust in the morning Drifting through the day [Chorus] Sleeping dog on a sofa (Sleeping dog on a sofa) Dreaming in the shade He keeps my whole room tender He keeps the world at bay Sleeping dog on a sofa (Sleeping dog on a sofa) I could sit here all night Just to watch him stay [Bridge] If the phone keeps ringing If the rain starts up again I know where the calm is Right beside me, by the end One slow breath, one tiny rumble That’s my kind of prayer Fur on the armrest Peace living there [Final Chorus] Sleeping dog on a sofa (Sleeping dog on a sofa) Dreaming in the shade He keeps my whole room tender He keeps the world at bay Sleeping dog on a sofa (Sleeping dog on a sofa) I could sit here all night Just to watch him stay [Outro] Sleeping dog on a sofa Still and warm and near Sleeping dog on a sofa Everything is clear
