about
A staple of Falling From Trees' past acoustic shows, "Black & Blue" is a powerful ballad with hard hitting lyrics and a crescendoing chorus. As one of his favourite songs, this rendition was recorded as a Father's Day gift for Geoff White, who has always been our biggest fan and supporter - thank you for being there, as always.
lyrics
Been here before she said
As she knocked at his door again,
Oh mama, what's wrong with me?
Standing out in the cold
Waiting on his beck and call,
Oh mama, what's wrong with me?
Black and blue,
The colours he gave you,
You don't have to wear them no more.
Black and blue,
The colours he gave you,
You don't have to wear them no more.
Don't think about knocking twice
She tells herself as she peers inside,
Oh mama, what's wrong with me?
And maybe there's still time to leave
She thinks without a hope or belief,
Oh mama, what's wrong with me?
Black and blue,
The colours he gave you,
You don't have to wear them no more.
Black and blue,
The colours he gave you,
You don't have to wear them no more.
