Joe Bonamassa song, Your Heart Is As Black As Night, Album Don't Explain, 2011

Your eyes may be whole but the story I'm told is
Your heart is as black as night
Your lips may be sweet such that I can't compete
But your heart is as black as night

I don't know why you came along
At such a perfect time
But if I let you hang around
I'm bound to lose my mind

Cause your hands may be strong
But the feeling's all wrong
Your heart is as black as night

I don't know why you came along
At such a perfect time
But if I let you hang around
I'm bound to lose my mind

Cause your hands may be strong
But the feeling's all wrong
Your heart is as black as night

Your eyes may be whole but the story I'm told is
Your heart is as black as night
Your lips may be sweet such that I can't compete
But your heart is as black as night

I don't know why you came along
At such a perfect time
But if I let you hang around
I'm bound to lose my mind
Cause your hands may be strong
But the feeling's all wrong
Your heart is as black, your heart is as black
Oh, your heart is as black as night, as night, as night

Inspired by Joe Bonamassa song Your Heart Is As Black As Night in Album Don't Explain, 2011


Your heart shines in the eyes but the fact I know
Your love is as far as a star
Your song may be sweet mine I can’t compare
But your love is as far as a star

I don’t know why you are with me
In my time of yearning
But if you don’t depart
I will give you my heart

Cause your touch may make me shake
But the emotions all fake
Your love is as far as a star

Your heart shines in the eyes, but the fact I know
Your love is as far as a star
Your song may be sweet mine I can’t compare
But your love is as far as a star

I don’t know why you are with me
In my time of yearning
But if you don’t depart
I will give you my heart
Cause your touch may make me shake
But the emotions all fake
Oh, Your love is as far, your love is as far as a star, as a star
