  • Lyrics: Black Dog Verse 1 Black dog, let me be Don't spread your dark shadows over me I will not be bound by your heavy frown I will not wear your crown So let me be I will be free Verse 2 Black dog I see you now Your sunken eyes and your mirthless jowl But I will not drown beneath your sodden weight I will not hesitate To turn and fly To clear blue sky Middle Or could we two be friends?

Instrumental Verse 3 Black Dog, can't you see? I cannot live with you hounding me So go run and play in the woods and fields Go lapping up cool water And you'll see You can be free You can be free You can free... music and lyrics (c) copyright todd mcneal 2007 all rights reserved
