[Verse 1]
This cold, empty house is
So quiet now she's gone
The dust accumulates into
Mountains on the ground
My paper's piled on the steps
Her flowers all have died
I'm searching everywhere
For someone I'll never find

[Chorus]
The haunting never fades, laughter's gone away
It's too late, when you've lost your soul
I left her everything, she only left my ring
My world is darker now than the blackest crow

[Verse 2]
Shadows fill this place
She's been away so long
The wallpaper leaves a stain
Where pictures once belonged
You think I would have known
Something was going on
Her kisses were so cold
Her loving touch withdrawn
[Chorus]
The haunting never fades, laughter's gone away
It's too late, when you've lost your soul
I left her everything, she only left my ring
My world is darker now than the blackest crow

[Spoken]
"They never do teach you
How to walk away from someone that you love."

[Bridge]
The haunting never fades, laughter's gone away
I know it's too late (when you've lost your soul)
The fires all but gone, my world is darker now
Than the blackest crow

[Outro]
The blackest crow
The blackest crow
The blackest crow
The blackest crow
