I Never Wear White - Suzanne Vega

[00:14.94]I never wear white
[00:19.29]White is for virgins
[00:23.47]Children in summer
[00:27.56]Brides in the park.
[00:29.31]
[00:31.11]My color is black black black
[00:35.59]Black is for secrets
[00:39.69]Outlaws and dancers
[00:43.63]For the poet of the dark.
[00:45.46]
[00:47.90]Black is the truth
[00:51.70]Of my situation.
[00:55.54]And for those of my station
[00:58.41]In life. All other colors Lie.
[01:20.04]I never wear white
[01:24.36]White is too blinding
[01:28.59]Always reminding
[01:32.24]Of the innocent who fall
[01:34.88]
[01:36.20]My color is black black black
[01:40.78]For the crone, and the bastard
[01:44.58]The schoolgirl in uniform
[01:48.59]The servant in the hall.
[01:51.11]
[01:52.93]Black is the truth
[01:57.12]Of my situation,
[02:00.76]And for those of my station
[02:03.52]In life. All other colors Lie.
[02:08.71]My color is black black black
[02:13.09]Like the gangster and widow
[02:16.90]It’s the shade and the shadow
[02:21.13]It’s the depth into your eye
[02:25.25]
[02:41.59]My color is black black black black black
[02:49.64]
