Another Coat Of Black © Freda Leask/Gina Paola Ritch

 

Took his place behind me, travellin' time

I was alone, he was with you 

Now I don't know where to hide

The sea shone all around me

Waves beat hard on the shore

Sunlight broke through silence

Another coat of black was what he wore

Took his place between them, borrowin' time

A cold whisper, a cold, cold call

Now I don't know how to cry

The world breathed on around him

Heart beats out of tune

Wears another coat of black

Underneath a coat of blue 

Took his place before me, borrowin' time

Painting oceans with colours he'd stolen

From a sunset of mind

With every heartbeat spoken, before the broken light

Wore another coat of black, underneath the veil of night

It's a heart of coal that's turnin'

Black, dark and cold

But a heart of coal when it's bunin'

Is brighter than a heart of gold
