Text: Trey Anastasio. Black.

Try to maintain all that you can
When the story that ends is not so clear
Tried to replay all that was good
When the lullaby, lullaby ends in darkness

Black, black , to see you now
To see you now, to see you now
Black, black , to see you now
To see you now, to see you now

Time for drifting, ropes turn to sand
You?ll be borne on the winds, off the sea
On your own now, our time is through
Let the promises, promises be broken

Black, black , to see you now
To see you now, to see you now
Black, black , to see you now
To see you now, to see you now

Just let it slip away
Just let it slip away
Just let it slip away
Just let it slip away

Black, black , to see you now
To see you now, to see you now
Black, black , to see you now
To see you now, to see you now

Just let it slip away
Just let it slip away
Just let it slip away
Just let it slip away

Just let it slip away
Just let it slip away
Just let it slip away
Just let it slip away
