Black Hair Lyrics - Cave Nick

Last night my kisses 

Were banked in black hair 

And in my bed, my lover, 

Her hair was midnight black 

And all her mystery dwelled 

Within her black hair 

And her black hair framed 

A happy heart-shaded face 

And heavy-hooded eyes 

Inside her black hair 

Shined at me from the depths 

Of her hair deepest black 

While my fingers pushed into 

Her straight black hair 

Pulling her black hair back 

From her happy heart-shaped face 

To kiss her milk-white throat, 

A dark curtain of black hair 

Smothered me, my lover 

With her beautiful black hair 

The smell of it is heavy 

It is charged with life 

On my fingers lingers the smell 

Of her deep black hair 

Full of all my whispered words 

Her black hair 

And wet with tears and good-byes, 

Her hair of deepest black 

All my tears cried against 

Her milk-white throat 

Hidden behind the curtain 

Of her beautiful black hair 

As deep as ink and black, Black as the deepest sea 

The smell of her black hair 

Upon my pillow, Where her head and all its 

Black hair did rest 

Today she took a train to the West 

Today she took a train to the West 

Today she took a train to the West
