Send ‘World Before Columbus’ Ringtone to Cell

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

    They'll never know the gold, or the copper in your hair, how could they weigh the worth of you,so rare.

    Poetry, History and Art; she gives us all this and more or she did; this album is the last time she let us in - now she looks shy again. Look at this single, see her honesty and understand why she gave up do to our lack of effort.

    "How could they weigh the worth/ Of you so rare" How can someone not fall in love with this song, and for that matter, Suzanne Vega. This is like one of the perfectly-tailored wedding songs I've heard

    there is an effortlessly unique character to her singing and her lyrics are always interesting - I think she's a much underrated artist
