I know you spent some time From the town to the city Looking for a life to start And when you were fifteen I know what you said "I'd never let another black boy break my heart"
You waited a decade For me to come find you There's never been a chance around I was just stumbling out of A prosthetic love And never been someone so real
This world is Love and darkness Such a tyrant destroyed As you sat sinking in my head Love and darkness Such a tyrant destroyed As you sat sinking in my head
As if it wasn't enough just to hear you speak They had to give you lips like that Like all of your sadness reduced to a color Then painted upon How could I forget you And who was I to think that on a Saturday night That you would really bike home alone And the way that I left you Just hanging on Sundays And fair skin boy take you home
This world is Love and darkness Such a tyrant destroyed As you sat sinking in my head Love and darkness Such a tyrant destroyed As you sat sinking in my head Love and darkness Such a tyrant destroyed As you sat sinking in my head Love and darkness Such a tyrant destroyed As you sat sinking in my head
