World Before Columbus Lyrics

World Before Columbus lyrics

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

 Who love those trinkets of desire

 Oh they will never 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
