Lyrics
Black as this night without you
Black like my lover's hair
Black like a raven at midnight
Black I can't find you here
Deep like our love undying
Deep like an endless kiss
Deep as an ocean fathom
Deep the parting of your lips
Cold as this steel blue morning
Cold as a the church bells tolling
Cold as this truth unfolding
Cold as your skin to my touch
Sweet as I kiss your forehead
Sweet as I whisper softly
Sweet like the tears I cry
As I say the last goodbye
