Black - Brendan O'Brien Mix

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 soul, as the earth to the sun
 Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
 Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
 Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
 And now my bitter hands shake beneath the clouds
 Of what was everything
 All the pictures had
 All been washed in black, tattooed everything
 I take a walk outside
 I'm surrounded by some kids at play
 I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
 Mmm, and twisted thoughts that spin round 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 had
 All been washed in black, tattooed everything
 All the love gone bad
 Turned my world to black
 Tattooed all I see
 All that I am
 All I'll be, yeah
 Uh-huh, uh-huh, ooh
 I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
 I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky
 But why, why, why can't it be
 Oh, can't it be mine?
 Oh, yeah
 Why, why?
 Why, why, why, why, why, why, yeah?
 Yeah, why?
 Yeah, why?
 Why?
 Why, why?
 Why?
 Ooh-ooh
 Oh-oh
