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
