When I was young I was often told
That somewhere in the world there were rivers of gold
Everyone was happy and the air was sweet
And true love came to sweep you off your feet
Well, I followed that dream to this very day
But funny how it never turned out that way
Well, it's high time I let sleeping dogs lie
I believed everything I was told
I've been made and I've been sold
So far up the river I lost the track
They stole my heart and never gave it back
I've been misundеrstood I can't deny
Until I saw the light shining in your eye
Well, it's high time I let sleeping dogs lie
Well, it's high time I let sleeping dogs lie
Sooner or later you gotta face the facts
Lay it all down and learn to relax
There's a time for the truth and a time to cry
A time to live and a time to die
But love caught me out in my defeat
I feel joy every time we meet
Well, it's high time I let sleeping dogs lie
Well, it's high time I let sleeping dogs lie
Well, it's high time I let sleeping dogs lie
