Black Tears

Black tears falling from above my knees

Just another weapon in your arsenal of fears

Little beads of misery that kill me when you cry

Let me kiss the circles better underneath your eyes

Black tears dancing in the rain

You can't seem to stop them, here they come again

It ain't funny when the levee breaks

You could drown a river, baby, you could raise a lake

I watch your blue eyes turning into green eyes

I watch your green eyes turning into sad eyes, yeah

I watch your sad eyes turning into red eyes

I watch your red eyes turning into black eyes

Black tears clobbering up the place

Tiny little accusations trickling down your face

Black tears, every drop a kiss

You know how to suck the soul out of every note there is

Black tears falling like the leaves

Little flakes of nakedness twisting in the breeze

Stormy weather, that's some power you got

I don't know when you're faking it and I don't know when you're not

I watch your blue eyes turning into green eyes

I watch your green eyes turning into sad eyes, yeah

I watch your sad eyes turning into red eyes

I watch your red eyes turning into black eyes

Well, that's some kind of power you got

You can switch 'em off and you can turn 'em on

Yeah

I watch your blue eyes turning into green eyes

I watch your green eyes turning into sad eyes

I watch your sad eyes turning into red eyes

I watch your red eyes turning into black eyes

Well, that's some kind of power you got

You can switch 'em off and you can switch 'em on

Black tears, I had no idea

But you're hot and cold

Let me get you out of here
