Chris Rea Black Dog song 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 his 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
