Lyrics

Love
Sweet Love
Sweet Love
Sweet Love

Drifting on the moonlit sea
A starless night

Salt that grits between the teeth and stings the eyes
Lost souls that sought refuge
Under siege,
An underworld

Black like the sky, when day is done
Black like a world beyond the sun
The night
Swallows me whole
Not many can fathom
That the heavens
That the heavens
Lie between Black Earth and Black Sky

Chorus

Doo x5
Sweet Love x2

Sink into the belly of a mother’s love (sweet love x2)
Plant the seed of plentiful
Abundant love (oh x3)
Sweet Love (You know you got to have that sweet love)
Sweet Love (You know you got to have that sweet love)


Sink into the belly of a mother’s love
Plant the seed of plentiful
Abundant love (That Black is sweet love)
Blacker is the berry
Is the juice (hey)
That nourishes the body and the spirit (that Black is sweet love oh)
Black so blue
Sweet love
Sweet love (oh)

Chorus

Sink into the belly of a mother’s love
Plant the seed of plentiful
Abundant love
Ahh x3
You can't touch this Black (Sweet Love)
This Black
This Black(Sweet Love)
This Black is mine
This Black is mine

Blacker than the eyes of we who can see God
Blacker than the ashes
Blacker than the smoke ohh
This Black skin (Sweet love)
This Black grin(Sweet love)

Chorus

Hey hey
I got something to tell you
I got something to tell you

It’s in the Soul
It’s in the core
It’s in the very breath I take
Step on
the shore
Close my eyes
Deep down in my heart I know it’s sweet love

Chorus reprise

What is Black? (Black is sweet love)
What is blackness?
Black is all creation
Blackness is all consuming (Black is sweet love)
Blackness
is life (Black is sweet love)
Blackness is the night sky (Black is sweet love)
What is Black?
What is Black? (Black is sweet love)
Black is Black
