Black is the Color
Cara Dillon & 2Divine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Black is the colour of my true love's hair.
Her lips are like a rose so fair.
She's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground whereon she stands.

I love my love and well she knows.
I love the ground whereon she goes.
And how I wish the day would come
when she and I can be as one.

Black is the colour of my true love's hair.
Her lips are like a rose so fair.
She's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground whereon she stands.

I go to the Clyde and mourn and weep
satisfied I never will sleep.
I 'll write her a letter, just a few short lines
And suffer death ten thousand times.

Black is the colour of my true love's hair.
Her lips are like a rose so fair.




She's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground whereon she stands. x3
