I Never Wear White
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I never wear white
White is for virgins
Children in summer
Brides in the park
My color is black, black, black
Black is for secrets
Outlaws and dancers
For the poet of the dark
Black is the truth
Of my situation.
And for those of my station
In life, all other colors
Lie
I never wear white
White is too blinding
Always reminding
Of the innocent who fall
My color is black, black, black
For the crone, and the bastard
The schoolgirl in uniform
The servant in the hall
Black is the truth
Of my situation
And for those of my station
In life,all other colors
Lie
My color is black black black
Like the gangster and widow
It’s the shade and the shadow
It’s the depth into your eye
My color is black, black, black, black, black
