[Verse 1]
Black dog lies against the door
He won't let me leave
He begs for more, making sure I stay
Black dog feeds at dinner time
I couldn't bear those hungry eyes
He doesn't seem to care
He's eating all that is mine
[Pre-Chorus]
But how could I be mad?
With him I'm never lonely
And I know that he knows
Love is all that I need
[Chorus]
Rest your sleepy head, my dear
[?]
Rest your sleepy head, my dear
[?]
[Verse 2]
Black dog breathing down my neck
Gentle and he's kind
But he's a dead weight on my duvet
He's the reason that I lie cold awake at night
[Pre-Chorus]
But how could I be mad?
With him I'm never lonely
And I know that he knows
Love is all that I need
[Chorus]
Rest your sleepy head, my dear
[?]
Rest your sleepy head, my dearest
I'm not really, really dead
[Outro]
So beware if he is there
The black dog at your door
