Black and Gray - Julie Delpy

I want to sing about someone

he was so good at looking sad

He made my cry

so many times

but never like that morning

He had a cold

they said

god mixed up in adolescence

he left us with a link

hanging in the summers rain

I want to sing about someone

someone that i never knew

someone that woke back word

backward in the water

he went a little to fast

to fast to stay alive

not afraid to die- he said

but did not have to go so soon

he had so much more to sing

and so much more to give

black is the only colour

that suits you

gray was a little too light

for you

and now rather go

will miss them

but soon he’ll join them

it isn’t my fault

if i am this way

when i see a man swimming

i see a drowning child

and when i look up at the sunny sky

i see a storm is comming

and a man next to (…)

reminds me of a destiny

Black is the only colour that suits me

gray is a little too light to me

now rather go

i miss them

but soon i’ll join them

tonight black is the only colour that suits me

oh tonight black even seems little to light for me

tonight

tonight

black even seems a bit bright for me

and now

tonight

and now

END
