Lyrics
Black Veils Of Melancholoy
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.
If I see you hiding in the night by a peppercorn tree
The tree it moves, lets me see what I wanna see
A poison gaze of your mind is all that's worrying me.
The pictures that I see are seen by no-one else but me
To cause the night to be in sight, a little point of me
I imagine nearly anything I want to see.
Black veils of melancholy falling on me
Black veils keep shadowing my mind
Black veils that make my mind seem small
Black veils of melancholy falling on me
Black veils keep shadowing my mind
Black veils that make my mind seem small
I see you with my eyes closed getting closer and closer to me
I open my eye up and you're not there
It's all in my mind
Black veils of melancholy falling on me
Black veils keep shadowing my mind
Black veils that make my mind seem small
Black veils of melancholy falling on me
Black veils keep shadowing my mind
Black veils that make my mind seem small
