Black Letter Day

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] All my strength is dead and gone [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 1] All my strength is dead and gone [Chorus 2] 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 [Verse 3] I drank all that I could Much more than I should In simple despair I drank all that I could Much more than I should To find someone there [Chorus 1] All my strength is dead and gone [Chorus 2] 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 [Bridge] Once upon a time there was a scientist with a nose made of silver He found that there were thirty worthless days a year That one could do without He called them black letter days And the rest is silence [Chorus 1] Well, all my strength is dead and gone [Chorus 2] 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 [Outro] I hope Monday will be a better day
