Signal Black Spot

Black

God love you now you are 
Strung out between the stars 
Heeded the siren when she called. 
What’s all to the good you say 
To take your friends away 
A man lying bleeding in the road 
One small light fading away that should have grown 

While we still have tears to shed 
Take someone else instead 
Beat on another guy 
So we can sit around and wonder why we still can’t reach 
A single black spot 

My best days may be gone 
But I’d exchange for none 
Not with the fire that’s in me now. 
I know the iceberg song, 
I know her sighs and moans 
And she’d be no good friend to me, 
I won’t go down easy at the end 

Now hear the angels sing 
Beyond imagining 
The cost of what you never thought 
Here comes a rider 
After dark
