about

A song about the black dog (depression).

lyrics

Black Dog (c) Darryl John 2014

Capo on 3

Verse 1:

The black dog is following me
He’s the one you cannot see
But we know where he’ll be found
You only have to look around

Verse 2:

You know he’s always on your trail
Hoping that you’ll surely fail
Giving you life feeling down
Killing you without a sound

Chorus:

People you know seem annoyed
Feeling panic not overjoyed
Living like you’re in a void
Even leaves you acting paranoid

Verse 3:

You wonder if he is your friend
But you’ll know better in the end
Is this what it’s like to go insane
With all of this unsighted pain

Verse 4:

You need help for this you know
But is there any place to go
With something you’ve never known
Feeling isolated and alone

Chorus:

People you know seem annoyed
Feeling panic not overjoyed
Living like you’re in a void
Even leaves you acting paranoid

Ending:

Black dog look what you’ve done
Robbed my life of joy and fun
Black dog of dread and fear
Get yourself away from here
Black dog leave me alone
You’re the worst that I have known
Oh black dog just go away
Find a cure for this I pray
This I pray!
