Black Songtext
von Mark Morton

Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her, ′round her soul
As the Earth to the sun
And now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn
And I know all I taught her was everything
And I know she gave me all that she wore

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything


I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
And ooh, I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear?
And twisted thoughts that spin around my head
I′m spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can drop away

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all that I see
All that I am
All I'll ever be, yeah
Oh...
I know someday you′ll have a beautiful life
I know you′ll be a star in somebody else's skies, but why
Why, why can′t it be, can't it be mine? Mine

We belong, we belong, we belong together, together, ooh
We, we belong, we belong together, yeah
