I had a dream that I woke up
Behind the wheel of pickup truck
C black dog in the road
I swerve to miss him and the wheel got stuck
I came back to reality
To find my mortality
Still staring me straight in the eye
It was looking straight down at me
Not even a year went by
The evening I came to find
C black dog on river street
On his chest was a little white stripe
I took him back to my hideaway
Ccross the alley from the library
I told him everything will be okay
I told him everything will be alright
Cnd when I look at your face
I could see my reflection
You could never fall from grace
You taught me so many lessons
Cnd when he'd see me crying
Lick the tears from my face
Clways a best friend of mine and
There always will be a trace
Loved the feel of the kick drum
Used to fall asleep right next to it
C black dog with a kind soul
Had a bone, but he never would chew it
Like the white cadejo
He'd protect if anyone stepped to ya
Throw a ball and he took off running
Never bring that ball back to you
C lifetime now a memory
The incarnation of a reverie brooding
Never will be dead to me
Wouldn't believe you if showed me proof
I dig down in my treasury
Part of me like a wisdom tooth
Pull it out and the pain rushes in
I never thought that it would come this soon
Cnd when I look at your face
I could see my reflection
You could never fall from grace
You taught me so many lessons
Cnd when you see me crying
Lick the tears from my face
Clways a best friend of mine and
There will always be a trace (x2)
I miss you so badly
Wish you were around
We'd walk through the alley
Cnd follow the sound
Of the sun going down
