Theme
An emotional song about heartbreak and abandonment, depicting the desolate loneliness of a man whose partner has left him. The world feels darker than **'the blackest crow'** due to his lost love. It reflects the realization that he was blind to the issues in the relationship and the pain of not knowing how to **'walk away from someone that you love'**.
Lyrics
This **cold, empty house** is
So quiet now she's **gone**
The **dust accumulates** into
**Mountains on the ground**
My paper's piled on the steps
Her **flowers all have died**
I'm searching everywhere
For **someone I'll never find**
The **haunting never fades**, **laughter's gone away**
It's **too late**, when you've **lost your soul**
I left her everything, she only left my **ring**
My **world is darker now than the blackest crow**
Slide - Dave
**Shadows fill this place**
She's been away so long
The **wallpaper leaves a stain**
Where pictures once belonged
You think I would have known
**Something was going on**
Her **kisses were so cold**
Her **loving touch withdrawn**
The **haunting never fades**, **laughter's gone away**
It's **too late**, when you've **lost your soul**
I left her everything, she only left my **ring**
My **world is darker now than the blackest crow**
Solo - Dave
They never do teach you how to **walk away from someone that you love**
The **haunting never fades**, **laughter's gone away**
I know t's **too late**, when you've **lost your soul**
The **fires all but gone**, my **world is darker now**
Than the **blackest crow**
Slide - Dave
The **blackest crow**...
