Black and White
Black and white washed away tonight
In the weary tide of the ocean
Too many words left unsaid run through head
to mention
Mary, Mary what have you done?
Mary, Mary why did you run?
CHORUS:
I look at your wind-washed face
as the sun gets swallowed by the ocean whole
We watch the sky fall down
Pieces all around slip into the ocean
Mary says she lays in bed
Playing dead and hoping
hoping for some peace of mind
Some way of coping
Sink or swim, thick or thin
That’s how the story’s been
Now she’s old life’s gone cold
That’s how it’s been
Black and white washed away tonight
In the weary tide of the ocean.
To many words left unsaid run through head
to mention
Mary, Mary mistakes you’ve made
Mary, Mary for them you’ll pay
CHORUS
Lost somehow, tired now
Of things absurd
Crash and burn, live and learn
All this she’s heard
Now there are no windows
There are no doors
Escape is through the floors
Worlds slowly closing in
Air’s getting thin
Black and white washed away tonight
In the weary tide of the ocean.
To many words left unsaid run through head
to mention
Mary, Mary what have you done?
Mary, Mary why did you run?
