lyrics

Black dog, black dog
howling in my yard
Drowning out his rabid bark
Has never been so hard

No peace No peace
It fills your head with fear
A constant drone, a creeping dread
Makes laughter hard to hear

Black dog black dog
Growling at my door
In my day and through my night
A sound I can't ignore

So tired so tired
Days they never start
The job you have, the plans you made
All seem to fall apart

It don't need to stop to eat
It don't tire from lack of sleep
Nothing I can do to keep
The Black Dog from my side

Black dog black dog
Please leave my sweetheart be
My only wish, chase you away
And keep her close to me
Keep her close to me

Damn hound Damn hound
Begone now from my side
I won't be trapped, cut off from life
No longer will I hide
No longer will I hide.

It don't need to stop to eat
It don't tire from lack of sleep
I won't rest til I can keep
The Black Dog from my side

It don't need to stop to eat
It don't tire from lack of sleep
And I won't rest til I can keep
The Black Dog from my side
