Alone with the owls howling pain, pain, pain Alone with the owls howling pain Alone with the owls howling pain, pain, pain You don't have to live this way While I lived was I a stray black dog While I lived was I a stray black dog While I lived was I anything at all Did I have to live this way I stood beside the ocean not a single wave Beside the ocean not a single wave Beside the ocean not a single wave Not a single left to say With the owl howling pain, pain, pain With the ocean howling the same With my life howling the same Did I have to live this way
