Lyrics

BLACK IS THE COLOR

BLACK IS THE COLOR OF MY TRUE LOVE'S HAIR
BLACK IS THE COLOR OF HER FACE
OF HER GENTLE HANDS OF HER LOVIN' ARMS,
OF HER WARM EMBRACE,
BLACK IS THE COLOR

BLACK IS THE COLOR OF MY MOOD THESE DAYS
BLACK IS THE COLOR OF MY NIGHTS
OF MY BUSTED HEAD, OF MY HURTIN' HEART,
OF MY EMPTY RIGHTS,
BLACK IS THE COLOR

WHITE IS THE COLOR OF SNOW IN WINTER
FREEZE YOU OUT WON'T LET YOU ENTER
WHITE IS THE COLOR OF LOTS OF COLLARS
EARNIN' LOTS OF CLEAN, GREEN DOLLARS
WHITE'S BEEN THE COLOR OF "IN" MY FRIEND
AND BLACK'S BEEN THE COLOR OF "OUT"
AND THAT IS WHAT THE SHOUTIN'S ALL ABOUT
......BLACKOUT!

BLACK IS THE COLOR OF MY TRUE LOVE'S SOUL
WHITE IS THE COLOR OF HER SMILE
I WON'T LET THAT SMILE TURN INTO A FROWN
I'M GETTIN' UP MAN. I BEEN TOO LONG DOWN.
THIS IS OUR CHANCE NOW. THE TIME IS HERE.
I'M LOSIN' PATIENCE, LOST ALL MY FEAR.
IT'S SIMPLE AS WRONG AND RIGHT.
IT'S THERE IN BLACK AND WHITE.
GONNA BE A COLORFUL YEAR THIS YEAR
AND BLACK IS THE COLOR.
