Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
.
Is it worth a try?
No shoulder to cry on here,
Better hold my peace.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
Better hold my peace.
No shoulder to cry on here.
Is it worth a try?
.
Cross the bridge of trust.
We have shared our secret dreams,
Covenanted hearts.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
Covenanted hearts.
We have shared our secret dreams,
Cross the bridge of trust.
.
I thought we were friends.
Every confidence locked safe.
I have been betrayed.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
I have been betrayed.
Every confidence locked safe.
I thought we were friends.
.
Never burned again.
Each entreaty I'll ignore.
Look the other way.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
Look the other way.
Each entreaty I'll ignore.
Never burned again.
