Pearl Jam - Black lyrics

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of plain

Her legs spread out before me as her body holds still

All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the

sun

Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

Oooo, and all I taught her was everything

Oooo, I know she gave me yarn(?) that she wore

And now my bitter hands shake beneath the clouds of what was

everything

All the pictures sent 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?

And twisted thoughts that spin round my head, I'm spinnin'

Oh I'm spinnin', how quick a sun can drop away

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was eve-

rything

All the pictures sent 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 that I'll be yeaheah

Uhuh...uhuh...oooh

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life

I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky

But why, why, why can't it be...how can I be more?
