Purcell: "In the black, dismal dungeon of despair", Z.190

歌詞

Sometimes I find myself in black despair Suddenly it comes over me but from where [Chorus:] When it's dark and I cannot sleep I become angry and so sad memories come to me Is it the life I lead I find myself in black despair is it a warning Oh I better just take care A deep sigh almost can't breath air I go deeper down can I come out of it And far into the night life is getting sick [Chorus] Used to be a bad boy but now I feel compunction I used to love it all now there's this crushing depression The black despair became so strong almost drowned in tears But my life goes on grab the bottle live another year [Chorus]
