Black Cloud

[Verse 1]

Do you two talk about me a lot?

Since I won't talk to you

I guess you have to talk to each other

Must be hard having one daughter with issues

When the other two have perfect temperaments

[Chorus]

Am I the black cloud

Of this good Canadian hard work home?

Am I too sad?

Do I stay in bed too long?

[Verse 2]

When you go in my room, what are you looking for?

Some clue as to where I stand?

"Maybe she has a boyfriend"

You try so hard for me to find you

But I can't see you, I can't see at all

[Chorus]

Am I the black cloud

Of this good Canadian hard work home?

Am I too sad?

Am I not sociable?

[Verse 3]

And when you hear my songs, do you hear them at all?

When you listen to them, do you know what I'm singing?

I know you like the ones with the catchy tunes

What about the ones about you?

And when I look like this, can you see me in you?

When I'm so hostile and you don't know why

And I say "I don't need anybody"

You try so hard for me to find you

But I can't see you, I can't see you at all

[Bridge]

Because I'm the black sheep

Of this good Canadian family

And I'm hard to keep from screaming, yeah

And I'm the black cloud

And I take on all the darkness

Of our home so you can be happy

I'm all that you wanted

I swear that's the truth

[Outro]

One day I hope to do the same

But not now

I don't know how

I don't know how

I don't know how
