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
