In case anyone misses it, this song is about the ‘black dog’ which is an old slang term for depression (thought I should explain, in case people think I’d written a song about how much I loved some little doggie I owned in Berlin). -Whitey on Bandcamp
[Chorus]
Sure, I used to say
Every dog has its day
Now, I'm used to loss
Every day has its dog
Sure, I used to say
Every dog has its day
Now, I'm used to loss
Every day has its dog
Sure, I used to say
Every dog has its day
Now, I'm used to loss
Every day has its dog
[Verse]
Who's that running after me?
Snapping at my heels
Like a shadow next to me
Knows everything I feel
Always there to pull me down
And never far away
The empty eyes, black as night
And always right there by my side
[Bridge]
I lie in the dark
And I wait for a spot
'Cause he keeps slipping in
Through the cracks
I tried to pretend
That I've a four-legged friend
But a man can't sleep
With a dog on his back
Can't send him away
On a long holiday
To that farmland where
Good dogs go
He crawled with ease
And released when he pleases
As he comes and he goes
Like a ghost
[Chorus]
Sure, I used to say
Every dog has its day
Now, I'm used to loss
Every day has its dog
Sure, I used to say
Every dog has its day
Now, I'm used to loss
Every day has its dog
[Bridge]
Roll over, roll over
Lay down, and play dead
Roll over, roll over
Lay down, and play dead
Roll over, roll over
Lay down, and play dead
Roll over, roll over
Lay down, and play dead
[Outro]
Roll over, and over, and over, and over
And over, and over, and over, and over
And over, and over, and over, and over
And over, and over, and over, and now
