(v1)
faded blue and black
like tombstones worn in rain
forgotten is the heat of your hand
and left is the chill of my pain
(v2)
remembering when
the pen first caressed the page
ink flowing like the passion
through our bodies in those days
(CHORUS)
and nights...i sit by candlelight
reading between the lines
written some time ago
i'm going out of my mind
trying to see you inside
the faded blue and black
(v3)
the leather flesh is torn
but the paper veins still course
feeding this heart of mine
with that blue and black blood of yours
(v4)
remembering when
your dreams first blessed the page
before words lost all their meaning
before your ink and body faded
(CHORUS)
and tonight...by your precious moonlight
i read between the lines
written some time ago
and knowing you've gone from this life
still i try to see you inside
the faded blue and black
