BLACK SORROW – English Lyrics

• By: Tamlin.

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

In endless darkness

I wait silently

Forever unseen

You still look through me

'cause you're only mine

when you're inside my mind

The image of your smile

burned into my mind

So black, black as it can be

Swallowed by the dark sea

when you turned back on me

Like a black, black sorrow

a story of such woe

And in the end it's emptiness

you left behind

When your footsteps faded into the night

Your touch lingers on the palm of my hand

Can I have just one more chance

Waiting to see your eyes on me

just once more

If I turn back time

try harder

Will you stay with me this time?

Is that too much to ask?

So black, black as it can be

Swallowed by the dark sea

when you turned back on me

Like a black, black sorrow

a story of such woe

And in the end it's emptiness

you left behind

When your footsteps fade away

Such black, black sorrow

Never leave me

You'll always be by my side

black sorrow (take my soul)

You're always my black sorrow (take over my soul)

Forever my black sorrow
