Black Tears Lyrics

Lyricist: Lucinda Williams
There is darkness in the Delta
Up and down the Mississippi
Darkness in the Delta
Up and down the Mississippi
Darkness in the swamp
And darkness in the city
 
The dream is deferred
And the churches are burning
The dream is deferred
And the churches are burning
When voices are not heard
What the hell are we learning?
 
Black tears filled with blues
Black tears in the street
Black tears filled with blues
Black tears in the street
We gotta keep looking for that
Mercy seat
 
400 years is long enough
How long will they rain down?
400 years is long enough
How long will they rain down?
You know it's a sad, sad, sad sound
When those tears hit the ground
 
There's blood in the river
There's blood in the heat
There's blood in the river
There's blood in the heat
There is blood all around
Blood all around my feet
 
Black tears filled with blues
Black tears in the street
Black tears filled with blues
Black tears in the street
We gotta keep looking for that
Mercy seat
We gotta keep looking for that
Mercy seat
 
We gotta keep looking
For that mercy seat
We gotta keep looking
For that mercy seat
For that mercy seat
That mercy seat
