The Black Dog

The black dog

I don’t always sing a happy song
The black dog bites and I’m all gone
And I can’t see the sunshine then
Wasted days are not my friend

So I wait for it to pass
To make me want my life to last
There is no need to contemplate 
When all you can do is sit and wait

So I see others with lives so clear
And I wonder how I get to there
Who makes the decision meant for me
When all I want is to live life free.
