Black Cloud by Morrissey Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The one I love
Is standing near
The one I love
Is everywhere

[Chorus 1]
I can woo you
I can amuse you
But there is nothing I can do to make you mine
Black cloud, black cloud

[Verse 2]
The one I love
Roosts in the mind
Can snap this spell
Or increase hell

[Chorus 2]
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
[Verse 3]
I play the game of favourites now
I can, I must
I will, I do

[Chorus 3]
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

[Chorus 4]
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
