I too love this song, best on the album, so well written and the orchestral part is superb. I have only ever understood these lyrics to be about someone with a drink problem.Black dog being alcohol. Why do we all look deeper into the lyrics than this? Read the Lyrics , written with basic symbolism and symptoms of an alcoholic. |
