Black Cloud - Morrissey

The one I love

Is standing near

The one I love

Is everywhere

I can woo you

I can amuse you

But there is nothing I can do to make you mine

Black cloud, black cloud

The one I love

Roosts in the mind

Can snap this spell

Or increase hell

I can chase you

And I can catch you

But there is nothing I can do to make you mine

Black cloud, black cloud

Oh, black cloud

Oh, black cloud

I play the game of favourites now

I can, I must

I will, I do

And I can please you

Or, I can freeze you out

But there is nothing I can do to make you mine

Black cloud, black cloud, black cloud

I can choke myself to please you

And I can sink much lower than usual

But there’s nothing I can do

To make you mine
