Lyrics and translation
Original
I'm lying in my bed, the blanket is warm.
This body will never be safe from harm.
I still feel your hair, black ribbons of cold, touch my skin to keep me whole.
Oh, if only you'd come back to me, filling up my side.
Wouldn't need no more doping to keep me satisfied.
Don't wanna weep for you, don't wanna know you. I'm blind in torture, the white horses go.
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow.
Black beauty, I love you so.
Oh, precious, precious silver and gold, and pearls and oyster's flesh.
Drop down weak to the servant paid in love.
Born again from the rhythm, screaming down from heaven. Ageless, ageless,
I'm there in your mind.
Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know you.
I'm blind in torture, the white horses go.
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow.
Oh, beauty, I love you so.
So, slow.
Oh, the words of your score, my love, give me more.
Send whips of opinion down my back, give me more. Well, it's you I've waited my life to see.
It's you I've searched so hard for.
Don't wanna weep for you, don't wanna know you. I'm blind in torture, the white horses go.
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow.
Black beauty, I love you so.
So!
Black, black, black beauty.
