Lyrics
Black Nostalgia
Written by: Bruce Hubbard
He must have been here long ago
He don?t remember when but I think he knows
He sees the black cloud letting go
To join the raging sea and never cry on him no more
He's letting go..
He said he fell down from the sky
He was an angel then but he don?t know why
When he's alone he sees inside
But black is all he sees when he opens up his eyes
Strange euphoric falling indecision
Black nostalgia cold inside
Pouring over him with God's precision
Black nostalgia cannot hide
He said she'd been here long ago
She said she'd wait for him
But it's a ghost he holds
When he's alone she'll finally show
But ghosts are all he sees and they're all he'll ever know
Strange euphoric falling indecision
Black nostalgia cold inside
Pouring over him with God's precision
Black nostalgia cannot hide
It's easy enough to breathe it's easy enough to break inside.
Strange euphoric falling indecision
Black nostalgia cold inside
Pouring over him with God's precision
Black nostalgia cannot hide
Strange euphoric falling indecision
Black nostalgia cold inside
Pouring over him with God's precision
Black nostalgia cannot hide
Strange euphoric falling indecision
Black nostalgia cold inside
