| World Before Columbus | |
| Suzanne Vega | |
| 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 | |
| If your life were taken from me | |
| All the trees would freeze in this cold ground | |
| It would be as cruel as the world before Columbus | |
| Sail to the edge and I'd be there looking down | |
| Those men who lust for land | |
| And for riches strange and new | |
| Who love those trinkets of desire | |
| Oh they never will have you | |
| And they'll never know the gold | |
| Or the copper in your hair | |
| How could they weigh the worth | |
| Of you so rare | |
| If your love were taken from me | |
| Every light that's bright would soon go dim | |
| It would be as dark as the world before Columbus | |
| Down the waterfall and I'd swim over the brim | |
| Those men who lust for land | |
| And for riches strange and new | |
| Who love those trinkets of desire | |
| Oh they never will have you | |
| And they'll never know the gold | |
| Or the copper in your hair | |
| How could they weigh the worth | |
| Of you so rare |
