Текст песни Black - Brendan O'Brien Mix - Pearl Jam

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
