World Before Columbus Lyrics

Suzanne Vega

If your love were taken from me Every color would be black and white It would be as flat as the world before Columbus That's the day that I lose half my sight
If your life were taken from me All the trees would freeze in this cold ground It would be as cruel as the world before Columbus Sail to the edge and I'd be there, looking down
Those men who lust for land and for riches strange and new Who love those trinkets of desire, oh, they never will have you And they'll never know the gold or the copper in your hair How could they weigh the worth of you, so rare?
If your love were taken from me Every light that's bright would soon go dim It would be as dark as the world before Columbus Down the waterfall and I'd swim, over the brim
Those men who lust for land and for riches strange and new Love those trinkets of desire, oh, they never will have you And they'll never know the gold or the copper in your hair How could they weigh the worth of you, so rare?
