Black Is The Colour
Dillon Cara Lyrics

Black is the colour of my true love's hair
The singer's significant other has black hair.

Her lips are like a rose so fair
The singer's significant other has beautiful, fair lips that resemble roses.

She's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands
The singer's significant other has a kind face and gentle hands.

I love the ground whereon she stands
The singer loves the very ground on which their significant other stands.

I love my love and well she knows
The singer's significant other is aware of their love for them.

I love the ground whereon she goes
The singer loves every step their significant other takes.

And how I wish the day would come
The singer expresses a strong desire for a specific day to arrive.

When she and I can be as one
The singer wishes to be united with their significant other as a single entity.

I go to the Clyde and mourn and weep
The singer goes to the Clyde and expresses deep sadness and sorrow.

Satisfied I never will sleep
The singer feels that they will never be fully content or fulfilled.

I'll write her a letter, just a few short lines
The singer plans to write a brief letter to their significant other.

And suffer death ten thousand times
The singer would rather suffer death many times over than be without their significant other.
