lyrics

That old dog knows how to find me
It matters not which road I travel on
And I thought those days were behind me
But it turns out I could not have been more wrong
And he sits right there on my shoulder
His cold, wet breath upon my neck
And they said he would leave when I got older
But he still creeps up when I least expect

And it's hard to say why it has to be today
And I can't explain how it feels
But a black dog day could be just one sleep away
And I'll never see him coming but I'll keep running with him snapping at my heels

And there's no good reason for his visits
He requires neither catalyst nor cause
And he'll push me to my very limits
And leave with nothing but the scars left by his claws
And he steals the wind right out my sails
And he leaves me at the mercy of the waves
And I've tried but I have failed to outrun him
But I'm not fast enough on my feet to escape

And it's hard to say why it has to be today
And I can't explain how it feels
But a black dog day could be just one sleep away
And I'll never see him coming but I'll keep running with him snapping at my heels
At my heels

And it's hard to say why it has to be today
And I can't explain how it feels
But a black dog day could be just one sleep away
And I'll never see him coming but I'll keep running with him snapping at my heels
And it's hard to say why it has to be today
And I can't explain how it feels
But a black dog day could be just one sleep away
And I'll never see him coming but I'll keep running with him snapping at my heels
