Black

Hey... oooh...

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 chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything.
Oh, the pictures have 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?
Oh, 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 have 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 sun in somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine

Aah... uuh..

Too doo doo too, too doo doo
Too doo doo too, too doo doo
Too doo doo too, too doo doo

En el ocaso de la relación,

cuando ya nada se puede hacer,

y ves como se te derrama de

entre las manos; el sentimiento

de desespenza recorre el cuerpo

y la nostalgía por lo que pudo

haber sido y nunca mas sera.

Una desgarradora composición

de Vedder y compañia para el

album Ten en 1991. Considerada

una de la mejores bandas de los 90´s

Pearl Jam.
