Corinne Bailey Rae
The Sea

The Blackest Lily

I didn't know the day was

I didn't know what the time it was

I didn't know what my heart would do

I was afraid of nothing when you called me on the telephone



I was a creature of appetites

And we played a game that you didn't like

There wasn't nothing that I could do

I can be so bad

I can be so bad

They just took it away and they broke it in two



Colour my heart

Colour my heart

Make it restart

Make it restart

Colour my heart

I want it more than I ever knew



The blackest lily

The blackest pomy

Won't protect my heart from you



You were unnercingly delicate

And I had a weekness for etiquette

You laid a trail that led straight to your door

And I could resist but it was hard to ignore



Colour my heart
