Black is the colour
That I wear
Now she has passed
Black is the new black

We met there
In Lawrence, Kansas
Twenty years ago
Black is the new black

Earth
Earth Mother cries
Her daughter has crossed
Over through the night

Black is the colour
That I wear
Now she has passed
Black is the new black

Blessed to have ridden
The waters with her
She rode the tides
Black is the new black

The rivers, the rivers
The cry
I am missing her smile
Her passion for life

Black is the colour
That I wear
Now she has passed
Black is the new black

She fought so hard
It progressed fast
Cancer is cruel
Black is the new black

So cruel
So she rides
Yes, she rides
And she rides

Yes, she rides
And she rides
The rainbow road
Into the night

Black is the colour
That I wear
I share my heartache
But struggle to wake

Black is the colour
That I wear
Now she has passed
Black is the new black

Now she has passed
Black is the new black
