Black Gold

Traditional

Black is the color of my true love's hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes
And the strongest hands
I love the ground on where he stands
I love the ground on where he stands

Black is the color of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair

Oh i love my lover
And where he goes
Yes, i love the ground on where he goes
And still i hope
That the time will come
When he and i will be as one
When he and i will be as one

So black is the color of my true love's hair
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Black is the color of my true love's hair

The assignment the assignment okay
Not too loud now not too loud
The song is called the assignment
Talks about the lover's gap
Tha gap between lovers
Especially in marriage and other forms

Bouncing off your wall
Tha pathways of my mind
Are on their way
Another way for today

You want me to see you
Baby i cannot see you
You want me to come for you
I cannot come for you
Cos you wany an assignment
I see no concession

Sall i hang my head with yours and be blue
Send alway laughter and fun
Spend all my time thinking about you
Don't you know there are things i can't do for you

My mind is on its way
Another way for today
My spirit is so foreign
You want silence
My spirit id taking flight now
But baby you're in a mood
And you wanna cry tonight now

Shall i hang my head with yours and be blue
That's what you want me to do
Send away laughter and fun
Spend my time crying
Trying to please you

Oh don't you know
There are things i can't do for you
My mind is on its way
Another way now for today

(1966) sandy denny

Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving
But how can they know it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire, i will still be dreaming
I have no thought of time

For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

Sad, deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving
Ah, but then you know it's time for them to go
But i will still be here, i have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time

For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

And i am not alone while my love is near me
I know it will be so until it's time to go
So come the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
I have no fear of time

For who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time goes?
