Chris Rea - Black Dog Lyrics

Black dog barking in the cold grey light
He pulls the chain and he pulls it tight
This ain't no lonesome wail
That boy ain't faking

He bites the steel and he claws the ground
He pulls again and he spins around
His eyes are raging
And his burning lungs are steaming

He wanna walk in the sun
Feel love like anyone
No one knows that black dog better than I
I said, ‽No one knows that black dog better than I”

When I see him running I can see me
Teeth in the collar and he's tearing it free
Spit out the leather and the cold studs
That kept you from singing

Run till you're bleeding run till you're hot
Till the memory of all this you've long since forgot
Run till forever
Till the bells of your freedom are ringing

He wanna walk in the sun
Feel love like anyone
No one knows that black dog better than I
I said, ‽No one knows that black dog better than I”

He wanna walk in the sun
Feel love like anyone
No one knows that black dog
No one knows that black dog
I said, ‽No one knows that black dog better than I”

Black dog, black dog
I said, ‽No one knows that black dog better than I”
Black dog, black dog
