lyrics

Blacker Than Blue
H & S Owens

I’ve closed my eyes to things I didn’t want to see
So I could view the world the way I wanted things to be
I never saw it comin’, ‘til after it was gone
Now it’s too late for lookin’ back and too soon for movin’ on

Have you ever had the feelin’ that your world was fallin’ down?
Have you ever called out into the night, but there’s nobody around?
I’m blacker than blue, blacker than blue
And I know I’ll never be the same again…

I put all my faith in love and left no room for doubt
I thought that it would be enough, but that’s what caught me out
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever, no matter what they say
And there’s no foolproof guarantee at the end of each day

CHORUS

I’ve turned my back on reason, I’ve trusted for too long
Now I’m beating myself up good, because I know where I went wrong
But every time it happens, I’m no wiser in the end
Chances are it’s the way I’m made and I’ll do it all again

CHORUS
