Black As The Night

by Jenny Besetzt

on Tender Madness (2016)

[Verse 1]
Evelyn, Evelyn our sun has set
And turned me into colorless regret
Evelyn, Evelyn I'm seeing shine
The razor you've held underneath your tongue

[Verse 2]
Isn't it, isn't it a dying wish
The hope that what was promised will still be
Wire in, wire in the ribbon of
The folded, perfect corners of your little lips

[Chorus]
Black as the night
Emptiness speaks silence
The black speaks silence to me of everything
Lost in the wake; Evelyn stay
You are the life raft; you are my faith
A fragile thing

[Post-Chorus]
Whoa-whoa-oh
Night over waves
Whoa-whoa-oh
Evelyn stay

[Chorus]
Black as the night
Emptiness speaks silence
The black speaks silence to me of everything
Lost in the wake; Evelyn stay
You are the life raft; you are my faith
A fragile thing

[Post-Chorus]
Whoa-whoa-oh
Night over waves
Whoa-whoa-oh
Evelyn stay
