Black Letter Day

I did all that I should, well all that I could But will I be clean I did all that I should, well all that I could But it isn't me All my strength is dead and gone Slept as long as I could, as long as I should To find comfort here Slept as long as I could, as long as I should But I still have fear All my strength is dead and gone Black letter day All the fun has gone away Black letter day All the joy has gone away Black letter day All my strength has gone away Black letter day I drank all that I could, much more than I should In a simple despair I drank all that I could, much more than I should To find someone there All my strength is dead and gone Black letter day All the fun has gone away Black letter day All the joy has gone away Black letter day All my strength has gone away Black letter day Once upon a time there was a scientist with a nose made of silver He found that there were far too hurtless days a year That one could do without, he called them black letter days And the rest is silence Well, all my strength is dead and gone Black letter day All the fun has gone away Black letter day All the joy has gone away Black letter day All my strength has gone away Black letter day I hope Monday will be a better day
