ME AND THAT MAN - MY CHURCH IS BLACK
album version - SONGS OF LOVE AND DEATH
[Intro]
N.C.
You're standing a long time on the shore
You try to chase away your thoughts
You want to feel the land you're looking for
You want to move, but you lost the gall
You want to pray, but you forgot the words
You lost the land you're looking for
But the first steps are in your heart
Some answers come from tears and from the
And all the signs are in the heart
Sometimes you must close your eyes
To see
Who you are
[Verse 1]
Em
Em
My church is black, my Christ is cold
C Em
My cross is pale all hope is gone, my church is black
Em
My church is black my Christ is cold
C Em D C
My cross is pale hell is my home, hell is my home
Em
My church is black
[Verse 2]
Em
My church is black, my blood runs cold
C Em
The sun don't shine for me no more, for me no more
Em
Black is the moon cold is the sun
C Em D C
Sing hallelujah no kingdom come, no kingdom come
Em D C
My church is black
Em C
My church is black
Em
My church is black
