about
A song about the fact that things often look better after a good night's sleep. Some of the imagery was inspired by the illustrations in Matthew Johnstone's book 'I Had A Black Dog'.
The telecaster electric guitar and bass on this track were played by Jonathan Lewis.
lyrics
When the only cloud in a sky of blue
Is a black dog that follows you,
Mmm... follows you,
his shadow follows you.
Sometimes we’re lost and cast adrift
In a sea of broken dreams,
Ooo... broken dreams,
The night’s not what it seems,
The night's not what it seems.
Chorus
It’s alright, we’ll be alright,
When the sun comes up in the morning light,
It’s alright we'll be alright again.
It’s alright we'll be alright again.
When the hallway rings with a distant laugh,
And you see through frosted glass,
Ooo... frosted glass,
You can’t escape the mask,
And you can’t escape the past.
Chorus
When the beast comes in the dead of night,
And he blocks out all that’s bright,
Mmm... all that’s bright,
Reach out for the light,
Just reach out for the light.
Chorus
