[Verse 1]
If I see you hiding in the night by a peppercorn tree
The tree, it moves, lets me see what I wanna see
A poison gaze of your mind is all that's worrying me
The pictures that I see are seen by no one else but me
To cause the night to be in sight, a little point of me
I imagine nearly anything I want to see

[Chorus]
Black veils of melancholy falling on me
Black veils keep shadowing my mind
Black veils that make my mind seem small

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Black veils of melancholy falling on me
Black veils keep shadowing my mind
Black veils that make my mind seem small

[Verse 2]
I see you with my eyes closed, getting closer and closer to me
I open my eyes up and you're not there
It's all in my mind

[Chorus]
Black veils of melancholy falling on me
Black veils keep shadowing my mind
Black veils that make my mind seem small
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Black veils of melancholy falling on me
Black veils keep shadowing my mind
Black veils that make my mind seem small
