I Never Wear White Suzanne Vega

[Verse 1]
I never wear white
White is for virgins
Children in summer
Brides in the park

[Verse 2]
My color is black, black, black
Black is for secrets
Outlaws and dancers
For the poet of the dark

[Chorus]
Black is the truth
Of my situation
And for those of my station In life
All other colors lie

[Verse 3]
I never wear white
White is too blinding
Always reminding
Of the innocent who fall

[Verse 4]
My color is black, black, black
For the crone and the bastard
The schoolgirl in uniform
The servant in the hall
