Black Cloud

The one I love

is standing near

The one I love

is everywhere

I can woo you

I can amuse you

But there is nothing I can do to make you mine

Black cloud, black cloud

The one I love

roosts in the mind

Can snap this spell

or increase hell

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

I play the game of favorites now

I can I must I will I do

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
