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
