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 I could, as long as I should
to find comfort here
slept as long I could, as long as I should
but I still have fear
all my strength is dead and gone...

[Chorus]

black letter day
all the fun has gone away
black letter day
all the joy has gone away
black letter day
all the strength 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
all my strength is dead and gone...

[Chorus]

I hope monday will be a better day
