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
