Black Cloud Lyrics by Morrissey

Years of Refusal

2009

[Verse 1]
The one I love is standing near
The one I love is everywhere

[Chorus]
And I can woo you, I can amuse you
But there is nothing I can do to make you mine
Black cloud, black cloud

[Verse 2]
The one I love roosts in the mind
Can snap this spell or increase hell

[Chorus]
And I can chase you and I can catch you
But there is nothing I can do to make you mine
Black cloud, black cloud
Oh, black cloud
Oh, black cloud

[Bridge]
I play the game of favorites now
I can, I must, I will, I do

[Chorus]
And I can please you or I can freeze you out
But there is nothing I can do to make you mine
Black cloud, black cloud, black cloud
I can choke myself to please you
And I can sink much lower than usual
But there's nothing I can do to make you mine
