about

“They say to write about what you know. Well, although I’ve managed to scrape through more than 20 years of being a Paramedic; relatively unscathed, there have been tough times. For some, these times can take a real toll. It’s for these people; all front line emergency workers, that I write this song. You never know when the black dog will come for you, these are my colleagues, my friends or maybe me!”

lyrics

Are you okay, did you want to talk about it
I see you had the call from hell
They won't understand from the outside looking in
You know I've, been there myself

Funny how, for so long now
You wonder where on earth you’ve been
You don't even realise that look upon your face
I wonder now, just where do I fit in

My heart goes out, to every living angel
The battle scars that photo bomb your mind
A black dog in the dark you could not see the danger
It's some kind of emergency
What goes on behind the seen

You say you're out, It's time for moving on
Pack it up, a chapter left behind
I wish you well, what more can I do
We used to be so intertwined

This brewing storm was overproof
Your poly-cotton armoured suit
The legacy that hangs upon the wall
Feel so broken, if only bent
The empathy that you have spent
Scrape the bottom of the barrel, give it all…… all
