Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam once sang this.. but he's still alive
and he's now happy with another...
Black
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
Im 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
Im spinning, oh, Im 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 Ill ever be...yeah...
I know someday youll have a
beautiful life, I know youll be a star
In somebody elses sky, but why
Why, why cant it be, why cant it be mine
thing is, he let her go.. and he found the real love of his
life...
you can too... one day.. it'll be a painful process.. but hang in
there...
