Lady in Black

Based on a true story
Of love and lost
Sunny days that turned dark

Well my wife
Left me for another man
Well it wasn't her dad,
But his name was Dan
And in my life,
I've been hurt
But not to the extent that
I saw the bright side in the dirt
Mmmmm
Saw the bright side in the dirt
And children, no longer make me laugh
There's a monkey on back and I am hating that
Notre Dame caught fire
And my back grew a hump
And they're throwing tomatoes at me
Like I've been sprayed by a skunk

And my sunshine is now overcast
And I'm gasping for air
And I'm sobbing over the past
And my daydreams
Have turned to nightmares
And I wake up alone and I pretend not to be scared
And my heart
Needs a thousand years to heal
No doctor, no therapist, nor prescription pills
Will help me fight
My demons
Cause only I can hear my soul scre-eaming
Only I can hear that shit
Not your shit, it's mine

Well the Phoenix
Caught fire too
And Notre Dame is rebuilding
And so can you
A new foundation
Must be laid
And you've got to bury your past
And then smack it with a spade
You gotta smack it with a spade, buddy

The morning time chill,
the color of her energy,
Is what caused my problems
But what set me free
And the lady,
We'll call her the "lady in black"
Well I should've been away when she asked me
Where did I get that

And My sunshine is now overcast
And I'm gasping for air
And sobbing over the past
And my daydreams,
Have turned to nightmares
And I wake up alone and pretend not to be scared
And my heart
Needs a thousand years to heal
No doctor, no therapist, nor prescription pills
Can help me fight
My demons
Cause only I can hear my soul screaming
Only I can hear my soul screaming lord
And it's a yelling real loud

Based all this on the truth
And the truth will set you free, they say
Well my wife,
She said Auf Weidersen
And I'm rubbing my eyes, tryna scratch my brain
And I thank her,
For the burn
And Auf Weidersen, honey and Danke Shurn

Well my wife, is with another fella
And my stomach was upside down for a while
Then my face turned yellow
But now I made it through to her
I hopped in the shower and I got rid of all the dirt

And my sunshine is now overcast
And I'm gasping for air
And I'm sobbing over the past
And my daydreams
have turned to nightmares
And I wake up alone
And I pretend not to be scared
And my heart needs a thousand years to heal
No doctor, no therapist, nor prescription pills
Will help me fight
Those demons
Cause only I can hear my soul scre-eaming
