lyrics

Walking the streets at night
It’s at your shoulder
Waiting for now
To follow you home
It’s like a black dog
It fades like a mist
It only knocks once
And leaves like it’s always gone
I know I saw it once
The streetlights went out
One by one
As it walked by
It came up beside me
I could hardly breathe
But I felt it stare
When it said to me:
“What you know may carry you
But what you love will bury you
And sit howling at your grave
In the soft morning light...”
Yeah, I am followed
By a big black dog...
