I'd like to see you in black
It makes me feel like your husband's dead
I'd like to see you in black
We could make him suffer instead
I'd Like to see you in black
Love to see you in black.
You can't lie to me, Ann
You can't pretend he isn't beating you up
I saw the marks of his hands
I saw your blood on your coffee cup
I'd like to see you in black
Love to see you in black.
The wind plucks at your black lace gown
You're standing calmly beside his grave
I see you there in black
Gently smiling and oh so brave
Love to see you in black.
We'll run away to Greece
We'll walk in the ruins of the Parthenon
We'll drink ouzo in our coffee
Watch the dust billow till the light is gone
Like to see you in black
Love to see you in black
I'd love to see you in black.
