The Black Dog

The Black Dog

He’s the bain of my life

Always there, always watching

Just sat in the corner causing me strife

Always with me, my constant shadow

Oh, what can I do for me and my wife

Black dog, black dog, what do you want?

Black, dog, black dog, why don’t you leave?

Black dog, black dog, what have I done?

Black dog, black dog, what do I have to do?

I know he’s there

I can feel his stare

He tries to control me

He causes me despair

He celebrates my sadness with unbridled glee

But black dog, I know what you want

But black, dog, you don’t have to leave leave

But black dog, I know what I have done

But black dog, I know what to do

You can be there

But I will pay no attention

You can watch me

But I do not care

You have no power

You are in detention

My emotions are mine

So sit quietly in your lair

Yes, black dog, you have no purpose

Yes, black dog, you are mine to control

Yes, black dog, you are so small

Yes, black dog, put on your lead

Black dog, black dog, where are you now?
