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
Hmmmm, and all I taught her was everything
Hmmmm, I know she gave me all that she wore
* And now my bitter hands, Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything All the pictures
Have 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
Hmmmm, and twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head, I'm spinning, oh
I'm spinning, how quick the sun can drop away
( * )
Yeah Uh huh Uh huh
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, Why can't it be mine
