Lyrics
Black Cloud
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(Can you see the black cloud?)
The one I love
Is standing near
The one I love
Is everywhere
I can woo you
I can amuse you
But there is nothing I can do
to make you mine
Black cloud, black cloud
The one I love
Roosts in the mind
Can snap this spell
Or, increase hell
I can chase you
And I can catch you
But there is nothing I can do
to make you mine
Black cloud, black cloud
Oh, black cloud
Oh, black cloud
I play the game of Favorites now
I can I must I will I do
I can please you
Or, I can freeze you out
But there is nothing I can do
to make you mine
Black cloud, black cloud, black cloud
I can choke myself to please you
And I can sink much lower than usual
But there's nothing I can do
To make you mine
