“In Black And White”
copyright '97 Katherine Sawyer Hand Wash Music/BMI

All these words that I've written seem to go nowhere
They sit in piles and wrinkle
No one to read them

All my fears

And aches and pains remembered in some new way
As I write them out
Page by page

Let them drain, trickle out through the years
No one to read them

All my fears

Forget the price they may bring
With some new light shed
Never to illuminate
As if the language could recreate
The things I feel

All these words go by me
Never enter me
Always leaving me more alone
Exploring me

All my fears

Never heard
Deafening
Endless suffering

All my fears

I give to you
I want you to know them too

All my fears

Take them from me and hold me
Near

Forget the price they may bring
With some new light shed
Never to illuminate
As if the language could recreate
The things I write

All these words define me
Explain away my life
There in black and white
Filling all the lines

All my fears
