Oh, lord i lost you i held you tight
Oh, i will hold on to your love in the night
And the black sky will come before our eyes
Oh, i, let's lie down in the basement tonight
Oh...
Oh, lord i've found you, i held you tight
Oh, i, and the buildings are pulled into the sky
And our heart's shake in it
This summer night,
Oh, i, let's lie down in the basement tonight
Oh...
I let you go, i let you go,
I let you know that i hold you
Black sky comes to take you from me
I let you know that i hold you
I let you go, i let you go,
I let you know that i hold you
Black sky comes, black sky comes, black sky comes and i hold you
Oh, lord i've found you i held you tight
Oh, i, and the black skies above our eyes tonight
And our hearts breaking in the empty night,
Oh, i, let's lie down in the basement tonight
Oh...
I let you go, i let you go,
I let you know that i hold you
Black sky comes to take you from me
I let you know that i hold you
I let you go, i let you go,
I let you know that i hold you
Black sky comes to take you from me, i let you know that i hold you.
Oh, lord i lost you, i held you tight
Oh, i, and the black sky will come for us tonight
And our heart's shaking in the empty night,
Oh, i, let's lie down in the basement tonight
Oh...
I let you go, i let you go,
I let you know that i hold you
Black sky comes to take you from me
I let you know that i hold you
I let you die, i let you die,
I let you die and i hold you
Black sky comes, black sky comes, black sky comes and i hold you
