about

a reoccurring dream
a girl alone with the crowd searching for connection

lyrics

Music by Emanuel Ruffler
Lyrics and Melody by Valerie Troutt

Mr. Black

I can't find your shadow on the wall
there are so many people standing round
could your hear me if I called
you said you'd be with me through it all

If I could just touch your hand
I know you'd feel my pain
If I could just touch your hand
I want to hear your loving voice again


Hook:
Mr. Black Mr. Black
Can you tell me where you're at
I've been looking for your company I'm having this attack
I need to know I need to know
can you tell me where you go
I've been looking for your shadow but nobody seems to know

Take my secrets
heal this pain
wrap me in your loving arms
feel my cup let it over flow
take me higher
never let me go

I'll let you please me
I'll let you tease me
I'll let you in my soul

I'll let you please me
I'll let you tease me
I'll let you in my soul
never let me go...

Ahhhh...

I swear I keep trying to hang onto this sunshine

Hook:
Mr. Black Mr. Black
Can you tell me where you're at
I've been looking for your company I'm having this attack
I need to know I need to know
can you tell me where you go
I've been looking for your shadow but nobody seems to know
