Seeing Black - Lucinda Williams

How did you come up with a day and time

You didn’t tell me you’d changed your mind

How could I have been so blind

I didn’t know you’d changed your mind

When you made the decision to get off this ride

Did you run out of places to go and hide

Did you know everybody would be surprised

When you made the decision to get off this ride

When you made the decision to jump ship

Once and for all lose your grip

Did you wax the deck to make it easier to slip

When you made the decision to jump ship

When did you start seeing black

Was it too much good you felt you lacked

Was it too much weight on you back

When did you start seeing black

When did you start seeing red

Did you see me standing over your bed

Did you hear anything I said

When did you start seeing red

When did you start seeing white

Tell me baby what was it like

Was it when you received your last rites

When did you start seeing white

Did you use a compass to get out of this place

Did you ever hear my voice, did you see my face

Did you finally get tired of running the race

Did you use a compass to get out of this place

Did you feel your act was a final truth

The dramatic ending of a misspent youth

Did you really feel you had all the proof

Did you feel your act was a final truth

Was it hard to finally pull the plug

Was it hard to receive that final hug

Did evil triumph over love

Was it hard to finally pull the plug

When did you start seeing black

Was it too much good you felt you lacked

Was it too much weight on you back

When did you start seeing black

When did you start seeing red

Did you see me standing over your bed

Did you hear anything I said

When did you start seeing red

When did you start seeing white

Tell me baby what was it like

Was it when you received your last rites

When did you start seeing white
