Lyrics for Wear Black

Rain every day Fog all night Wind in the evergreen cypresses See me lord of wind and rain See me guardian of the underpassses Wear black when it's light outside Wear black when there's no light Wear black following the left hand path Wear black but I get right Waves at night Hard waves at dawn All this coast is vanishing Check me out, I can't blend in Check me out, I'm young and ravishing Wear black on your forgotten red heart Wear black in the present tense Wear black when you come around Wear black in your absence Wear black high as a kite (wear black) Wear black dead sober (wear black) Wear black when the struggle starts (wear black) Wear black when it's over (wear black) Sun through the trees Head for the sun Can't find the path back to the main raod See me lord of the Thomas Guide See me keeper of the source code Wear black to the intervention Wear black back to the car Wear black wherever I go Wear black wherever you are
