Lady Black Lyrics
In New York
City Back
When I was young
And colorful saw a girl
I doubled back
Was she the one?
Lady Black
Cigarette?
She rolls her own
I should’ve known.
Would you care
To come and talk
To me alone?
Your smile seems so familiar
Like maybe we’d met before
If we had, girl, I was a fool to forget.
The deep end sounds inviting
And she s already in
Should I stay dry?
Or should I get wet?
My hotel
Two o'clock
Dizzy from
All the fun
Said goodnight
And Lady Black
Was on the run.
Called her back
Later on
But she was al-
ready done
bloody redlioness
I should've known.
When did this go one sided?
I didn’t fall in alone
Sometimes I wish I’d never met you at all.
If love goes unrequited
Can we really call it love?
Do I hang on?
Or should I let go?
Should I let go?
Your smile seems so familiar
Like maybe we’d met before
If we had, girl, I was a fool to forget.
The deep end sounds inviting
And she s already in
Should I stay dry?
Or should I get wet?
Do I hang on?
Or should I let go?
Should I let go?

The deep end sounds inviting And she's already in
Always quality writing.... Great jam, reminds me of a fall trip I took at a time.
Lady Black is another well written song by Brandon. After listening to this many times through, I've started to piece together the lyrics.
To me, in a nutshell, Lady Black is a song about getting pulled into love and then when you actually fall into love, it becomes unrequited love.
