En Passant

          Sum'n Black

I’ve had something black                on my soul all day
I’d go to hell and back                       to make it go away
And though I want you back           I know you wouldn’t stay
I’ve had something black                on my soul all day

You’ve dealt with riff and raff      You’ve dealt with love that’s true
I have a photograph                          of nothing but us two
Sometimes it makes me laugh     to impose me on you
I’ve had something black               that’s lasted the night through

                                  This is the chorus
                                  This is the chorus
                                

I act like I don’t care                          You act like you don’t know
I see you everywhere                         you never used to go
Your heart is frigid here                   My soul is numb although
I know there’s something there   that ain’t the shade of snow

                               This might've been a refrain
