Black Hair Lyrics - The Boatman's Call - Nick Cave

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-shaped face 

And heavy-hooded eyes inside her black hair 

Shined at me from the depths of her hair of 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 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
