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

all my strength is dead and gone

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

all my strength is dead and gone...

black letter day
all the fun / joy /
...has gone away

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

...Once upon a time, there was a scientist with a nose made of silver.
He found there were thirty work-less days a year, that one could do without.
He called them black letter days, and the rest is silence...

I hope Monday will be a better day...
