Jason Molina Alone With The Owl Lyrics

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 (x2)
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 (x2)
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
