Lyrics
Ominous Black Dog
Fate loves you, then leaves you,
Hunts you down for more.
Grabs you, cruels your chances,
And then throws you to the floor
You live with anxiety,
You wait for news with dread,
The uncertainty is terrible,
And you shiver in your bed.
That means that you, are waiting for,
The Ominous Black Dog
That black dog skulks round your camp site,
Whining for a leg to bite!
First he barks at the campfire,
Then he howls at the moon all night,
That dog hangs around,
To make sure you know what’s in store,
First he dogs your actions,
Then he’s dogging all your thoughts
Oh I know that I'm waiting for,
The Ominous Black Dog
Life is a heartbeat,
Death next to it,
And both just one skip away.
The dog is on your doorstep,
To turn your life to grey.
He drags in news like a foul rodent,
That confirms your worst fears,
And while you are bleeding with sorrow,
That dog just laps up all your tears,
Oh we are all, waiting for,
The Ominous Black Dog
We are all, waiting for,
The Ominous Black Dog
We are all, waiting for,
The Ominous Black Dog
