Black is the color of my true love's hair. His lips are like some roses fair He has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands I love the ground whereon

This old house is falling down around my ears I am drowning in a river of my tears When all my will is gone, you hold me, sway I need you at the dimming
Black is the color of my true loves hair His lips are like some roses fair He has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands And I love the ground whereon
The girl's a fool, she broke the rule, she hurt him hard This time he will break down She's lost his trust and so she must know all is lost The system
