lyrics

Black Dog

When the clouds lift you’ll know, that the weight that you felt wasn’t real
It was weight self-imposed. Then you’ll know, I hope that you’ll know

And the shackles you felt and the chains round your head will dissolve, your insanity melt
Then you’ll know, I hope that you’ll know

The weight of the world it was there it was there, it was sat on your shoulders
I was taking you home, you wanted to go but you just didn’t know

And the way that that you just stood and stared when I wanted to hold you
I was taking you home
You wanted to go, you just didn’t know

When the clouds drift you’ll know
That the life you had lost isn’t lost, you’ve got somewhere to go
Then you’ll know, I hope that you’ll know

And the madness you felt, and the cage that was built round your head you can let it all melt
Then you’ll know, I hope that you’ll know

The weight of the world, the despair, it was sat on your shoulders
I was taking you home, you wanted to go but you just didn’t know
And you didn’t want anyone there when we wanted to hold you
We were taking you home, you wanted to go, you just didn’t know

I know you feel sad and low and you can’t see the way out
Look here you’re not on your own, never doubt, never doubt
The black dog’s stopped running now
