Suzanne Vega - World Before Columbus download song

Song Lyrics

All the trees would freeze in this cold ground, oh they never will have you Columbus, how could they weigh the worth
It would be as dark as the world before columbus, every color would be black and white
Who love those trinkets of desire, it would be as cruel as the world before columbus, and for riches strange and new
Every color would be black and white, how could they weigh the worth Vega, every light that s bright would soon go dim
Sail to the edge and i d be there looking down, of you so rare

It would be as cruel as the world before columbus, all the trees would freeze in this cold ground, sail to the edge and i d be there looking down
And they ll never know the gold, and for riches strange and new, it would be as dark as the world before columbus
and they ll never know the gold
Who love those trinkets of desire, down the waterfall and i d swim over the brim
And they ll never know the gold, how could they weigh the worth

It would be as cruel as the world before columbus, and they ll never know the gold World, down the waterfall and i d swim over the brim
And they ll never know the gold, those men who lust for land
And they ll never know the gold, and for riches strange and new, it would be as flat as the world before columbus
oh they never will have you
if your love were taken from me

that s the day that i lose half my sight
How could they weigh the worth, those men who lust for land
If your love were taken from me, of you so rare Suzanne, it would be as cruel as the world before columbus
Down the waterfall and i d swim over the brim, of you so rare
of you so rare

And for riches strange and new, oh they never will have you
every color would be black and white
every light that s bright would soon go dim
Or the copper in your hair, oh they will never have you Before, all the trees would freeze in this cold ground
and they ll never know the gold

Those men who lust for land, it would be as dark as the world before columbus, it would be as dark as the world before columbus
Who love those trinkets of desire, it would be as flat as the world before columbus
Oh they will never have you, oh they never will have you World, or the copper in your hair
And they ll never know the gold, of you so rare, if your life were taken from me
and they ll never know the gold

Of you so rare, those men who lust for land World, down the waterfall and i d swim over the brim
sail to the edge and i d be there looking down
And for riches strange and new, every light that s bright would soon go dim World, of you so rare
and for riches strange and new
If your love were taken from me, if your love were taken from me

Those men who lust for land, every light that s bright would soon go dim, who love those trinkets of desire
Or the copper in your hair, of you so rare
That s the day that i lose half my sight, how could they weigh the worth, all the trees would freeze in this cold ground
