[00:06.64]Paula Cole - El Greco
[00:09.84]I'm black on blacker velvet,
[00:11.95]Milk skin and veins,
[00:13.90]Like some El Greco painting,
[00:16.25]So full of pain.
[00:18.35]So full of longing for light of day.
[00:27.25]I thought I knew who I was in the world.
[00:31.52]But here I am twice blind at being born,
[00:35.34]Crawling to my buried voice, within.
[00:43.96]And I've forgotten who I used to be.
[00:52.50]And I've forgotten the woman in red,
[00:59.58]Living her dream.
[01:01.29]And I've forgotten the courage I used to be.
[01:19.00]Happiness is overrated,
[01:21.44]It never lasts.
[01:23.46]Skating the surface of oceanic depths.
[01:27.74]Oh may the fruit of my life be meaning.
[01:36.63]So please forgive me all my seriousness,
[01:40.36]My so-called spirituality,
[01:40.92]I'm just a mess.
[01:46.29]I'm tears and anxiety,
[01:48.41]But I'm unafraid to See.
[01:54.08]And I've forgotten who I used to be,
[02:02.37]The leader in her glory shining, divining.
[02:11.79]And I've forgotten, the courage I used to be,
[02:20.47]The middle passage is so damned humbling, persona crumbling,
[02:28.45]I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
[02:36.82]And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try, and I try.
[02:45.39]I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know,
[02:54.18]And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try, and I try.
[03:03.89]Like some El Greco painting,
[03:05.83]No sun or sky.
[03:08.01]No lantern, no candle needed to light,
[03:12.29]The holy radiance behind the eyes.
[03:20.64]And I've forgotten who I used to be.
[03:29.22]And I've forgotten the woman in red, living her dream.
[03:39.07]And I've forgotten the courage I used to be.
[03:47.64]I don't know...
