Black Dog

Despair is weighing heavy in me
In my heart, in my heart
A helpless feeling lingers constantly
in the dark, in the dark
In bed I can’t seem
to find a reason
to rise
Last night I tried
I couldn’t sleep
but I did hide
From this
Black dog beside me
I can’t confide or speak
Black dog sit tight be quiet
Doctor help
gifted me elixirs
from the shelf
But I want to escape
to my sanctuary
beach place
I appreciate
the light
that shines
Friend you’re so fine
be patient
and guide me
Black dog beside me
I can’t confide or speak
Black dog sit tight be quiet
Everythings gonna be alright
Everythings gonna be alright
Everythings gonna be alright
Everythings gonna be alright
Black dog beside me
I can’t confide or speak
Black dog sit tight be quiet
Black dog beside me
I can’t confide or speak
Black dog sit tight be quiet
