Black Dog in the Sky lyrics

As I rode to your house I was beaten and robbed
By a band of moon-faced vagabonds
They were rifling through my pockets and untying my shoes
When the air began to boil

Slow is the black dog in the sky
Who p*sses and slobbers all over the world
From Belford to Wooler, to Beadnell and Ford
He slowly devours the land

I did not see what occurred but I heard their awful sounds
And smelled the perfume of death
When I opened my eyes the Sun no longer shined
For those poor children

Here I lie in the mud, my waistcoat caked in blood
Not able to stand of my own volition
A flash of lightning illuminates the belly of the beast
I see entrails dripping in the trees

Slow is the black dog in the sky
Who p*sses and slobbers all over the world
From Belford to Wooler, to Beadnell and Ford
He slowly devours the land

Now I run through the night though my bones are on fire
To see you in the bosom of the hills
Through an ocean of fog I am ceaselessly drawn
To the lantern in your window
To the lantern in your window
To the lantern in your window
To the lantern in your window
