Ribbon of Darkness

Ribbon of darkness over me

Since my true love walked out the door

Tears I never had before

Ribbon of darkness over me

Clouds are gathering o'er my head

That chill the day and hide the sun

That shroud the night when day is done

Ribbon of darkness over me

Rain is fallin' on the meadow

Where once my love and I did lie

Now she is gone from the meadow

My love, goodbye

Ribbon of darkness over me

Where once the world was young as spring

Where flower did bloom and birds did sing

Ribbon of darkness over me

In this cold room lyin'

Don't wanna see no one but you

Lord, I wish I could be dyin'

To forget you

How I wish your heart could see

How mine just aches and breaks all day

Come on back and take away

Ribbon of darkness over me

Come on back and take away

Ribbon of darkness over me
