Black Dog On The Beach Lyrics
by Bill Callahan
A black dog followed me
We chased the seagulls in the sky
And the shadows on the sand
Well, if Dad was in the Navy
I'll be a riverboat gambling man
Not counting the buffet
I'd walk with a thousand dollars a day
Oh, Dad always said
If he could have he would have loved to live this way
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e122894-bill_callahan~black_dog_on_the_beach_lyrics.html ]
Sick and lonesome and in need
Of discipline and company
The discipline of company
Well, I guess I can describe it best
As the year the lion left the family crest
And we made a crown out of the space that was left
