Black Dogged

Black dog brings me down;
Black dog lays me low.
How can I get away?
Where, oh where can I go?

Black dog follows me,
tracks me and stalks me.
Whatever I do
He will always find me.

Black dog is cunning,
Hiding and waiting.
Wherever I go
I cannot evade him.

I want to catch him,
chain him and hold him;
Keep him imprisoned,
so I can escape him.

Black dog brings me down;
Black dog lays me low.
How can I get away?
Where, oh where can I go?

Black dog he deceives;
And makes me believe
I’ve left him behind –
But there is no reprieve.

Black dog’s tenacious,
Stubborn and tireless.
I can’t outrun him
His stamina’s matchless.

I want to be free,
bright future to see;
and to know for sure
that he cannot find me.

Black dog brings me down;
Black dog lays me low.
How can I get away?
Where, oh where can I go?
