Your Black Hat
YOUR BLACK HAT
I put on your black hat, the one you gave to me.
Thought I'd be downtown, like we used to be.
All I met was faces, of friends we thought we knew,
Friends who couldn't see me without you.
They couldn't recognize me without you.
I put on your black hat, I wear it every day.
When I go downtown, where we used to play.
All I see is faces, of almost friends we've known.
Smiling like they'd rather be alone.
Without you, I'm someone they used to know.
I still wear your black hat, it's like a part of me.
I still wear your black hat, it's all you left for me.
I put on your black hat, everywhere I go.
To live our beat. To feel our rock and roll.
All I see is faces, of friends we never knew.
Friends who know I'm no one without you.
They'll never recognize me, without you.
I still wear your black hat.
I still wear your black hat.
