Songs About / On: BLACK

Last night my kisses were banked in black hair
And in my bed, my lover, her hair was midnight black
And all her mystery dwelled within her black hair
And her black hair framed a happy heart-shaped face

And heavy-hooded eyes inside her black hair
Shined at me frome the depths of her hair of deepest black
While my fingers pushed into her straight black hair
Pulling her black hair back from her happy heart-shaped face

To kiss her milk-white throat, a dark curtain of black hair
Smothered me, my lover with her beautiful black hair
The smell of it is heavy. It is charged with life
On my fingers the smell of her deep black hair

Full of all my whispered words, her black hair
And wet with tears and good-byes, her hair of deepest black
All my tears cried against her milk-white throat
Hidden behind the curtain of her beautiful black hair

As deep as ink and black, black as the deepest sea
The smell of her black hair upon my pillow
Where her head and all its black hair did rest
Today she took a train to the West
Today she took a train to the West
Today she took a train to the West read more »

Daddy’s little soldier boy
Mama’s little pride and joy
Both hands on her apron strings
Don’t you touch that dirty thing
A warning signal from above
Inspection with a clean white glove
They say that opposites attract like right and wrong

I've never seen you when you're smiling
It really gets under my skin
You're never touched by another
I still can't guess what you're after
It's the colour of your skin read more »

Starts with a typical zz riff, sounds like zz meets james bond.

Black fly buzzin’, buzzin’ around
Black fly flyin’ from town to town
Black fly lookin’ around and around
What’s he gonna do when he finds her? read more »

We say that believing was yours and mine to break
Colors bled each glittered night, the sky was crying
Is there a danger that we feel too much?
We believe that love survives let it conquer
Would I walk a thousand miles to see your smile? read more »

It soon appears
It soon appears
Long rented shores
Long rented shores
Too big to name
Too big to name
And second to none
And second to none read more »

Who are you that taunts my nights
With darkness and reproach
Are you she
Embracing devils never to awake
Pretty pretty black dream read more »
