Black is the colour of my true love's hair
Her face so soft and wonderous fair
The purest eyes and the strongest hands
I love the ground on where she stands
I love the ground on where, on where she stands
Oh, I love my lover, and well she knows
Yes, I love the ground on where she goes
And still I hope that the time will come
When she and I will be, will be as one
When she and I will be, will be as one
To be oh (?)
So black is the colour of my true love's hair
Her face so soft and wonderous fair
The purest eyes and the strongest hands
I love the ground on where she stands
I love the ground on where, on where she stands
I love the ground on where, on where she stands
Her face so soft and wonderous fair
The purest eyes and the strongest hands
I love the ground on where she stands
I love the ground on where, on where she stands
Oh, I love my lover, and well she knows
Yes, I love the ground on where she goes
And still I hope that the time will come
When she and I will be, will be as one
When she and I will be, will be as one
To be oh (?)
So black is the colour of my true love's hair
Her face so soft and wonderous fair
The purest eyes and the strongest hands
I love the ground on where she stands
I love the ground on where, on where she stands
I love the ground on where, on where she stands

When the person you're sleeping with doesn't stay the night it makes you think, "is this person in love with me, or are we just making love?" I think, given what I sense about Greg Dulli's attitude, that this song is his way of saying he'll have it either way, "it's all good, love is love".
Excellent to groove to, especially as it flows into Annie Mae and Verti-Marte.
A stripped down , piano only demo version of this song can be heard on the closing credits of the Ted Demme directed Momunment Avenue, starring frequent Dulli co-collaborator Denis Leary . An amazing song
