Black Hair Lyrics

Artist: Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
Album: The Boatman's Call

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
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

I don't find this song humorous, but very lyrical!

funny shit? You must be retarded, this is one of the saddest love songs I've ever heard

Lyrical indeed xD Cave is probably one of the best songwriters ever, there isn't any of his songs that has not been written with great care and talent. It ain't shit and it ain't funny. It is brillant, poetical, and magical.

No everybody knows the meaning of passion and sadness.
