Sarah McLachlan Black song lyrics

As the walls are closing in

And the colors fade to black

And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me

And I follow the tracks that lead me down

And I never follow what's right

And they wonder sometimes when they see all the

Sadness and pain that truth brings to light

'Cause I can't see no reason

What is blind cannot see

'Cause I want what is pleasing

All I take should be free

What I rob from the innocent ones

What I'd steal from the womb

If I cried me a river of all my confessions

Would I drown in my shallow regret

As the walls are closing in

And the colors fade to black

And my eyes are falling fast and deep into the sea

(Above line written as "and the night is falling" in album jacket)

And in darkness all that I can see

The frightened and the weak

Are forced to cling to mistakes they know nothing of

At mercy are the meak

'Cause I can't see no reason

What is blind cannot see

'Cause I want what is pleasing

All I take should be free

What I rob from the innocent ones

What I'd steal from the womb

If I cried me a river of all my confessions

Would I drown in my shallow regret

If I cried me a river of all my confessions

Would I drown in my shallow regret

If I cried me a river of all my confessions

Would I drown in my shallow regret

If I cried me a river of all my confessions

Would I drown in my shallow regret
