Tim Jackson - Black Dog

Rainy day, coming again
Beating down, when will it end?
Rainy day, always dragging me down

Black dog, follow me round
Can't break free from that hound
Black dog, get back into your cage

And I wish that I could tell you how I really feel
But I'm trapped inside a room that I can never leave
And if only I could be the man I used to be
And I wish I didn't always take it out on you
And I'm sorry if I say things that I don't mean to
But if only I could get this black dog off of me

River deep, hole in the ground
Sinking deep
Swallow me down
River deep, there's just no way out of here

Black dog, said too much
Can't break free from your clutch
Black dog, get back into your cage

And I wish that I could tell you how I really fell
But I'm trapped inside a room that I can never leave
And if only I could be the man I used to be
And I wish I didn't always take it out on you
And I'm sorry if I say things that I don't mean to
But if only I could get this black dog off of me

So you try to fight it, so you can set yourself free
But it comes back stronger and stronger at me
So you try to tame it, accommodate its needs
Look above the clouds and set your soul free

And I wish I didn't always take it out on you
And I'm sorry if I say things that I don't mean to
But if only I could get this black dog off of me

Black Dog, get out of my head
Black Dog
Black Dog, get out of my head
Black Dog, you're better off dead
Black Dog, get out of my head
Black Dog, you're better off dead
Black Dog, get out of my head
Black Dog, you're better off dead
