I used to walk my black dog late at night
Without a moon it felt just like
Being drawn by an unseen hand
Into a country ancient and unplanned
Past the darkness on the edge of town
Where it ain't no use to try and turn me 'round
And I will sing these songs till I no longer can
I used to walk my brother down to school
Making like I wasn't nobody's fool
But fear and pride are nothing special friend
And still we'd always end up holding hands
Now it ain't my place to comfort anyone
It ain't my place to say whose will be done
But i will sing these songs till I no longer can
