"Black Is My True Love's Hair" lyrics
Black is my true love's hair
Amber are her eyes
But she's gone like a bird of passage
Under darkening skies
Deeper grow the day's shadows
Out in the wandering wind
When your heart is cut to ribbons
And luminous showers descend
Black is my true love's hair
Amber are her eyes
But she's gone like a bird of passage
Under darkening skies
Westward roll the mighty herds
With the guns behind
Like them, I've wandered the country
No trace of her could I find
The milk-white lines of the interstate
Have driven me far astray
Laugh and the world laughs with you
Cry and the world turns away
Black is my true love's hair
Amber are her eyes
But she's gone like a bird of passage
Under darkening skies
Yeah, she's gone like a bird of passage
Under darkening skies
Amber are her eyes
But she's gone like a bird of passage
Under darkening skies
Deeper grow the day's shadows
Out in the wandering wind
When your heart is cut to ribbons
And luminous showers descend
Black is my true love's hair
Amber are her eyes
But she's gone like a bird of passage
Under darkening skies
Westward roll the mighty herds
With the guns behind
Like them, I've wandered the country
No trace of her could I find
The milk-white lines of the interstate
Have driven me far astray
Laugh and the world laughs with you
Cry and the world turns away
Black is my true love's hair
Amber are her eyes
But she's gone like a bird of passage
Under darkening skies
Yeah, she's gone like a bird of passage
Under darkening skies
