Black Lines - Richard Ashcroft

Who put those black lines under your eyes?

Let me replace them with a smile

Letters from lovers that you don’t read

Toys for children you’ve not conceived

Yes it’s real life

Sometimes it gets so hard

You wonder why you try

Makes no sense at all

So you just turn out your light

Try to figure out

What’s going on in your mind

Makes no sense at all, oh

You know and I know too, ah

You gotta see it through until the morning

I can wait until the morning

So you close your eyes

You think of death

Nothing left in your head till the morning

Can you wait until the morning?

Sweet bird of fortune I had to let you go

This gilded cage yeah, couldn’t hold that soul

So who put those black lines under your eyes?

Let me replace them with a smile

Yes it’s real life

Sometimes it gets so hard

You wonder why you try

Makes no sense at all

So you just turn out your light

Try to figure out

What’s going on in your mind

Makes no sense at all

Yes it’s real life

Sometimes it gets so hard

You wonder why you try

Makes no sense at all

So you just turn out your light

Try to figure out

What’s going on in your mind

Makes no sense at all

Oh, you know and I know too

Oh gotta see it through till the morning

I pray until the morning

So you close your eyes

Think of death

Think of yourself somewhere better in the morning

Still praying for the morning

I can wait until the morning

Let’s wait until the morning

Still praying for the morning

I can wait until the morning

I can wait until the morning

I can wait until the morning

Ooooooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooooooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooooooh ooh ooh ooh
