lyrics
There's something in my mind; Something in my soul
Something that's wanting to be aligned : music keeps me whole !
Black dog trying to survive the monster in my cave
Black dog darkness deep inside : even music cannot save!
Sonny's blues Sonny was down
Sonny took the easy road from here, he's no longer bound; he can't be found
Sonny wanted honesty. He coulda been a better man than me
Sometimes I wonder if his dog bit me My conscience is an agony
Sonny's blues Sonny was down
Sonny took the easy road from here, renounced his crown; he's run aground
Sonny had an awesome smile.
He was fun to have around
He never showed his insecurities
then his music let him down.
Sonny's blues Sonny was down
Sonny took the easy road from here, renounced his crown;
Sonny can't be found!
Something that's wanting to be aligned : music keeps me whole !
Black dog trying to survive the monster in my cave
Black dog darkness deep inside : even music cannot save!
Sonny's blues Sonny was down
Sonny took the easy road from here, he's no longer bound; he can't be found
Sonny wanted honesty. He coulda been a better man than me
Sometimes I wonder if his dog bit me My conscience is an agony
Sonny's blues Sonny was down
Sonny took the easy road from here, renounced his crown; he's run aground
Sonny had an awesome smile.
He was fun to have around
He never showed his insecurities
then his music let him down.
Sonny's blues Sonny was down
Sonny took the easy road from here, renounced his crown;
Sonny can't be found!
