Black Dog 



 

 

    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got a black dog. every morning he is sitting on my chest

I got a black dog. every morning he is sitting on my chest

tons in weight and the blackest black

he is always there and he is always back

 

the devil send him, he is straight out of hell

the devil send him, he is straight out of hell

he killed my dreams, he robbed my soul

everything is grey now and the sun is cold

 

sometimes the devil himself whispers in my ear

is it worth all that, son? what are you doing here?

he has a gun, he has a rope and he laughs at me

I want to shoot him down, this ghost in me

 

dead on the rails, strangled in a tree

crushed under a bridge, drowned in the sea

black dogs running, looking for souls

for the devil (himself), for the unholy ghost

 

the dogs name is sorrow, his name is fear

his name is hopeless, his name is pain

he never barks, he never howls

he is always there, no chance to run
