following me

no matter where I go
no matter what I do
no matter what I say
it's following me
it's there when I sleep
awake the whole day through
not looking at you
it's following me

          and it does its very hardest
          and it does its very best
          bitter is the harvest
          and there's no time for rest

a black cloud above
a black hole below
a black crow cries
it's following me
where I am going
I have no way to know
I try to outrun but
it's following me

          and it does its very hardest
          and it does its very best
          bitter is the harvest
          and there's no time for rest

no matter where I go
no matter what I do
no matter what I say
it's following me
