Lucinda Williams - Seeing Black lyrics

How did you come up with a day and time?
You did not tell me you'd changed your mind
How could I have been so blind?
I didn't know you had changed your mind

When you made the decision to
Get off this ride
Did you run out of places to go and hide?
Did you know everybody would be surprised
When you made your decision to
Get off this ride?

When you made the decision to jump ship
Once and for all lose your grip
Did you wax the decks to
Make it easier to slip
When you made the decision to jump ship?
When did you start seeing black?
Was it too much good you felt you lacked?
Was it too much weight riding on your back?
When did you start seeing black?

When did you start seeing red?
Did you see me standing over your bed?
Did you hear anything I said?
When did you start seeing red?

When did you start seeing white?
Tell me, baby, what was it like?
Was it when you received your last rites?
When did you start seeing white?

Did you use a compass to
Get out of this place?
Did you ever hear my voice?
Did you see my face?
Did you finally get tired
Of running the race?
Did you use a compass to
Get out of this place?

Did you feel your act was a final truth?
The dramatic ending of a misspent youth
Did you really feel you had all the proof?
Did you feel your act was a final truth?

Was it hard to finally pull the plug?
Was it hard to receive that final hug?
Did evil triumph over love?
Was it hard to finally pull the plug?
When did you start seeing black?
Was it too much good you felt you lacked?
Was it too much weight riding on your back?
When did you start seeing black?

When did you start seeing red?
Did you see me standing over your bed?
Did you hear anything I said?
When did you start seeing red?

When did you start seeing white?
Tell me, baby, what was it like?
Was it when you received your last rites?
When did you start seeing white?
