Black Delilah - Patrick O'Hearn

Jane can’t keep herself home tonight

Keep herself believing she’ll be alright

Keep herself awake to a body

That’s close to the hands

And the feet that nobody else knows

All the way from London

She looks away laughing at herself

And her black eye shade

Boy can’t keep his pain under the glass

Laughing at the world as it just slides past

I know this black eye waste

These days waste this light

I know this black eye waste

These days waste this sunlight

Maybe permission ain’t good enough

Maybe you need someone

Who can stand your love

Maybe somebody who’s cool to the touch

So much I know

This black eye waste

These days waste this spotlight

Let me crucify you

Let me sacrifice our love

Let me resurrect you

Be my resurrection now

Let me celebrate you

Let me hold your head up high

Let me hang you from the sky
