suzanne vega - world before columbus (acoustic version) lyrics

[verse 1]
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

[verse 2]
if your love 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
[chorus]
those men who l+st 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?

[verse 3]
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

[chorus]
those men who l+st for lands and for riches strange and new
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?
