Intro
Verse
"Dear John", So Begins A Famous Old Story
"Goodbye / Au-Revoir / Thanks For The Memory"
Keep It Short And Sweet If You Really Care
Verse
D-I-Vor-C-E Can Be So Hurtful,
It Makes Public Property Of Things That Are Personal
All The Friends And Family Get Their Share
Chorus
Ink Is Black, As Black As Night,
Black As Thoughts That Shun The Light
Truth Will Out And Maybe Then
You'll Put Down That Poison Pen
Poison Pen
Verse
Everyone Enjoys Sharing A Rumour
But When It's Aimed At You It Loses Its Humour
Sometimes Words So Innocent Cut So Deep
Chorus
Ink Is Black, As Black As Night,
Black As Thoughts That Shun The Light
Truth Will Out And Maybe Then
You'll Put Down That Poison Pen
That Poison Pen That Poison Pen
Break
Bridge
Everybody's Telling Me, "Talk Is Cheap"
Sometimes Words So Innocent Cut So Deep
Cut So Deep They Cut So
Deep So Deep
Ink Is Black (Ink Is Black)
As Black As Night (As Black As Night)
Black As Thoughts (Black As Thoughts)
That Shun The Light (That Shun The Light)
Chorus
Ink Is Black, As Black As Night
Black As Thoughts That Shun The Light
Truth Will Out And Maybe Then
You'll Put Down That Poison Pen
That Poison Pen That Poison Pen
That Poison Pen Poison Pen
Outro
Black As Night
As Black As Coal
Black As Thoughts That Cast A
Shadow Right Across My Soul
I Thought You Were My Friend
Til You Picked Up That Poison Pen
That Poison Pen Yeah
Poison...
