Black Dog - Passafire

I had a dream that i woke up

Behind the wheel of a pickup truck

A black dog in the road

Swerve to miss him and the wheel got stuck

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 that i came to find

A black dog on the River Street

On his chest was a little white stripe

I took him back to my hideaway

Across the alley from the library

I told him everything will be okay

I told him everything will be alright

And when i look at your face

I could see my reflection

You could never fall from grace

You taught me so many lessons

And when he’d see me crying

Lick the tears from my face

Always a best friend of mine and

There always will be a trace

Love the feel of the kick drum

Used to fall asleep right next to it

A black dog with 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 took of running

Never bring that ball back to you

A lifetime now a memory

The incarnation of a reverie brooding

A lifetime now a memory

The incarnation of a reverie brooding

A dig down in my treasury

Part of me like a wisdom tooth

I pull it out and the pain rushes in

I never thought that it would came this soon

And when i look at your face

I could see my reflection

You could never fall from grace

You taught me so many lessons

And when he’d see me crying

Lick the tears from my face

Always a best friend of mine and

There always will be a trace

I miss you so badly

Wish you were around right now

We walk through the alley

And follow the sound

Of the sun going down
