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?
