I'm lying in my bed The blanket is warm This body will never be safe from harm Still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal Touch my skin to keep me whole If only you'd come back to me If you laid at my side I wouldn't need no Mojo Pin to keep me satisfied Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow Black beauty I love you so Precious, precious silver and gold and pearls in oyster's flesh Drop down we two to serve and pray to love Born again from the rhythm screaming down from heaven Ageless, ageless I'm there in your arms Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow Black beauty I love you so So, so The welts of your scorn, my love, give me more Send whips of opinion down my back, give me more Well it's you I've waited my life to see It's you I've searched so hard for Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow Black beauty I love you so So, black, black, black, black beauty

A canção foi originalmente apresentada no EP Live at Sin-é antes de se tornar a primeira faixa do álbum Grace
Jeff Buckley coescreveu a música com Gary Lucas, inspirando-se em um sonho que teve sobre uma mulher negra
A letra transmite uma sensação de vício, seja em drogas ou em uma pessoa, através do uso de imagens bizarras
Versões ao vivo da música incluíam uma longa introdução chamada "Chocolate", onde Buckley imitava o estilo vocal de Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
As músicas originais de "Mojo Pin" e "Grace" sem a voz de Jeff Buckley estão presentes no álbum Level the Playing Field de Gary Lucas
Uma versão diferente da música foi lançada no álbum Coming Clean da banda Gary Lucas & Gods and Monsters, com a voz de Michael Schoen
