Black - Live MTV Unplugged

Hey, uh

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

And all I taught her was everything

How quick the sun can drop away

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
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?

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

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?

No, yeah, yeah, no

We, we belong, we belong together, together
We, we belong, we belong together
