Black Dog
You loved me so much that you gave me the sun
But the heat became heavy so you dragged it back down
And you threw up the moon with the flick of your thumb
And scattered all the stars with the swing of your arm
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I stretch my gaze across the sky?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I'm standing on the edge of endless time?
You wanted me to smile so you gave me the clouds
To cover up the sun and cool me down
You carved a cathedral and filled it with beasts
Who howlеd at the altar of my endless fеasts
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I stretch my gaze across the sky?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I'm standing on the edge of endless time?
You thought you saw me cry so you swallowed the sky
And the eyes of a black dog sitting in the clouds
But I longed for the moon and the stars and the sun
So you threw back your head and you spit it out again
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I stretch my gaze across the sky?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I'm standing on the edge of endless time?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I stretch my gaze across the sky?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I'm standing on the edge of endless time?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I stretch my gaze across the sky?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I'm standing on the edge of endless time?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I stretch my gaze across the sky?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I'm standing on the edge of endless time?
But the heat became heavy so you dragged it back down
And you threw up the moon with the flick of your thumb
And scattered all the stars with the swing of your arm
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I stretch my gaze across the sky?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I'm standing on the edge of endless time?
You wanted me to smile so you gave me the clouds
To cover up the sun and cool me down
You carved a cathedral and filled it with beasts
Who howlеd at the altar of my endless fеasts
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I stretch my gaze across the sky?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I'm standing on the edge of endless time?
You thought you saw me cry so you swallowed the sky
And the eyes of a black dog sitting in the clouds
But I longed for the moon and the stars and the sun
So you threw back your head and you spit it out again
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I stretch my gaze across the sky?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I'm standing on the edge of endless time?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I stretch my gaze across the sky?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I'm standing on the edge of endless time?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I stretch my gaze across the sky?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I'm standing on the edge of endless time?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I stretch my gaze across the sky?
How can I laugh and how can I cry
When I'm standing on the edge of endless time?
