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Her loving touch withdrawn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...
