  • If I could hock my love, could I trade
    For your wings to cover me, unless I fall?
    Half-alive, I heard the most brilliant line
    The sleep is eyes, closed to light
    And death's the mind, wide open

    You can't stutter when you're talking with your eyes
    Like cutting out your tongue to save face
    Or feeding on the blood that's running from a black day

    Cry on black rain, cry on black rain
    Cry on black rain

    If I could hock my love, could I trade
    For your wings to cover me, unless I fall?
    The sleep is eyes, closed to light
    And death's the mind, wide open

    You can't stutter when you're talking with your eyes
    Like cutting out your tongue to save face
    Or feeding on the blood that's running from a black day

    Cry on black rain, cry on black rain
    Cry on cry on black rain
    Black rain, cry on
    Black rain, cry on
    Cry on

    You can't stutter when you're talking with your eyes
    Like cutting out your tongue you save face
    Or feeding on the blood that's running from a black day Writer/s: Ben Shepherd, Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil
