norah jones - black (live at austin city limits, tx / 2012) lyrics

[verse 1]
we touch the walls of the city streets and
didn’t explain, sadly, showed us our ways
of never asking why
cast down, it was heaven+sent, and
to the church, no intent to repent, on my knees
just to cry

[chorus]
until you travel to that place you can’t come back
where the last pain is gone and all that’s left is black

[verse 2]
bright nights cease coming to me and
some day they’ll punish my deeds, and they’ll find
all the crimes
then they ask when they gonna see us
then they’re gonna have to feel the ghosts, the walls, the dreams
well, i’ve got mine

[chorus 2]
at last, those coming came, and they never looked back
with blinding stars in their eyes but all they saw was black

[verse 3]
fooled them, was hoping to seem like the slayer of evil
but the product of greed, and
it’s not a mask, so be honest with me
they can’t afford to ignore that i’m a disease
practical, since we had to be, and
when they were old, they came back to me, and they tried
oh, they tried
[chorus 3]
and when you follow through and wind up on your back
looking up at no stars in the sky
those white clouds have turned it black

[outro]
thank you
