PEARL JAM


Black Lyrics

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me, as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul, as the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands shake beneath the clouds
Of what was everything

All the pictures had
All been washed in black, tattooed everything
I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
And twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything

All the pictures had
All been washed in black, tattooed everything
All the love gone bad, turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be, yeah

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky
But why, why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?

This song makes me sob every time I hear it. One of the most powerful lyrics ever written. I agree, I do believe it's sun, not star. This song breaks my heart.

A beautiful love song about a lost lover. Vedder could surely sing any woman back into his arms! I adore this song;his voice portrays the emotion of a much regretted but understood break up perfectly

I love Pearl Jam, but this has become one of my favorites. I could listen to Eddie Vedder sing anything, love his voice, no other like him...

This is my all time favourite song, and the first ever song I learned on guitar. Eddie Vedder is God... Pearl Jam are amazing, and will always be amazing.
