Blue on Black

night falls
i'm alone
skin chilled
to the bone
you turned
and you ran
slipped right
from my hands

blue on black
tears in a river
push on shove
don't mean much
joker on jack
match on fire
cold on ice
dead man's touch
whisper in a scream
doesn't change a thing
won't bring you back
blue on black
blind but
now i see
truth, lies
and in between
wrong can't
be undone
slipped from
the tip of your tongue
