Black dog

black dog in the warm sunshine
looks like she's lost her mind
why don't we call her back?
she can't go on like that.
we're standing in the doorway now
wondering how black dog got out
if she could only hear her name
black dog might come back again
black dog will you come around?
black dog won't you lay yourself down?
she can run and she can play
black dog likes to get away
she can bark and she can bite
black dog keeps you up all night
neighbors are getting tired
black dog is in their yard
mend your fence a time or two
before you have to start anew
black dog will you come around?
black dog won't you lay yourself down?
black dog will run again
because she's not listening
sun is setting on her day
black dogs wandered far away
i want to see your face
when they put black dog back in place
you can say it won't be done
but tomorrow won't be long
black dog will you come around?
black dog won't you lay yourself down?
black dog will you come around?
black dog when will you lay yourself down?
