(j. buckley/g. lucas)



(it's a song about a dream)



Well i'm lying in my bed

The blanket is warm

This body will never be safe from harm

Still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal

Touch my skin to keep me whole



If only you'd come back to me

If you laid at my side

I wouldn't need no mojo pin to keep me satisfied



Don't wanna weep for you, i don't wanna know

I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow

The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow

Black beauty i love you so



Precious, precious silver and gold and pearls in oyster's flesh

Drop down we two to serve and pray to love

Born again from the rhythm screaming down from heaven

Ageless, ageless

I'm there in your arms



Don't wanna weep for you, i don't wanna know

I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow

The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow

Black beauty i love you so

So, so...



The welts of your scorn, my love, give me more

Send whips of opinion down my back, give me more

Well it's you i've waited my life to see

It's you i've searched so hard for...



Don't wanna weep for you, i don't wanna know

I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow

The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow

Black beauty i love you so

So, black black black black beauty...
