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?
