Stone Gossard - Black lyrics

[Intro] Hey, hey, yeah, uh [Verse 1] 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 [Hook] And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds Of what was everything Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black Tattooed everything [Verse 2] I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear Oh and twisted thoughts that spin round my head I'm spinning, oh I'm spinning How quick the sun can drop away [Hook] And now my bitter hands cradle broken gla** Of what was everything All the pictures have all been washed in black Tattooed everything [Verse 3] All the love gone bad turned my world to black Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be yeah Oh oh 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, why can't it be mine? Ooh why, ooh [Guitar Solo with vocalizations] Toororot-toot-toororo, toororot-toot-toororo Toororot-toot-toororo, toororot-toot-toororo Toororot-toot-toororo, toororot-toot-toororo Toororot-toot-toororo, toororot-toot-toororo Toororot-toot-toororo, toororot-toot-toororo Toororot-toot-toororo, toororot-toot-toororo Toororot-toot-toororo, toororot-toot-toororo Toororot-toot-toororo, toororot-toot-toororo Toororot-toot-toororo, toororot-toot-toororo Toororot-toot-toororo, ooh ooh ooh Toororot-toot-toororo, ooh [Outro]
