Karan Casey - Ships in the Forest

Black is the Colour

Black is the color of my true love's hair
His face is soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes and the gentlest hands
I love the ground up where he stands
I love the ground up where he stands

Black is the color of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair

I love my lover, and well he knows
I love the ground up where he goes
And still I hope that the time will come
When he and I will be as one
When he and I will be as one

Black is the color of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
