Black
by Sarah Mclaughlan

              As the walls are closing in
              And the colors fade to black
              And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me
              And I follow the tracks that lead me down
              And I never follow what's right
              And they wonder sometimes when they see all the
              Sadness and pain the truth begins to light

              CHORUS

              'Cause I can't see no reason
              What is blind cannot see
              'Cause I want what is pleasin'
              All I take should be free
              What I rob from the innocent ones
              What I'd steal from the womb

              If I cried me a river of all my confessions
              Would I drown in my shallow regret
              As the walls are closing in
              And the colors fade to black
              And the night is falling fast and deep into the sea
              And in the darkness all that I can see
              The frightened and the weak
              Are forced to cling to mistakes they know nothing of
              At mercy are the meek
 
 
 
 


   so take, take me home
