Missing Song - I See The Color Of Her Hair

[LonHex]

Hello!
A friend is stuck with these lyrics
"I see the color of her hair, it is brown..."
...its so sad..."

from the 80s and previous, maybe

she cannot remember anything else about it, and i like challenges - who knows what it is?
i confess google did not help me here
thanks !

[fiction-factory]

lot later than 80s.
Sorry- AB won't let me amend typos

[LonHex]

since she is an internet researcher, if it was the zombies or something known, she would have gotten it by now.

it has to be something more obscure

its a folky-kind of song

thanks so far!!

[Bathsheba]

Are you in the US/Canada (just going off your spelling of colour). if so I need to widen my thinking to include US-only hits

[Mamyalynne]

There's been a few covers of 'She's not there' but that seems to have been ruled out.

[fiction-factory]

At least this one cmes back, Baths, For most music queries i answer the poster never comes back

[fiction-factory]

Yes- Santana was late 70s. maya

[jno]

I don't think "She's not there" mentions the actual colour of her hair.

[fiction-factory]

but the lyrics hardly match

[fiction-factory]

sorry jno- crossed posts

[LonHex]

it was Tel Aviv in the late 80s, an indie band - she thinks maybe they had only one album
