Black Dog Wind (rose Of Roses) Lyrics - Lateness Of Dancers - Hiss Golden Messenger

Daddy played guitar in a bluegrass band 

He made his living on the DOT 

Faded star upon his wrist 

He come out of Huntsville back in '86 

And he just waved bye-bye like he was some ordinary guy 

Goddamn that man, but what he told me sticks 

We've gotta cross that river in a black dog wind 

I lost myself in the jack-knife daylight 

I sang "Rock of Ages" 'til I was cross-eyed 

The night seemed so endless, and I fought with the sunshine 

Mama begged me to wait for the right time

Oh, I just waved bye-bye—I was waiting to fly 

Goddamn that man, but what he told me sticks 

We've gotta cross that river in a black dog wind 

Rose of roses 

Take my troubled mind 

To the water

I grew stronger and I grew older 

Only myself, and I had no other 

The sun rose in my blood early one morning 

And love was so simple, like a new day dawning 

I waved bye-bye to that city of mine 

I loved that man, but I'm not like him 

Sometimes we cross that river in a black dog wind
