Black dog you can't know my name You keep weighing heavy on my shame Weary and scared to They search for tomorrow to simply exist Black dog if I could only take it on the chin And brush you off like you mean nothing But you remind of every step of the way You're going nowhere, you're here to stay Every piece of me you take away Every time we meet, I lose my way I wanted to know, black dog Could you come another day? With every sigh of relief you will be ok You don't get any betters when you slip away If I knew, black dog I'd going down this way I tried so very hard to set you aside But I guess if I'm hurt I know I'm alive I tried so very hard to not to lie But I guess if you hurt I know I'm alive Hey you, be on your way
