Ribbon Of Darkness

WITH THE POZO SECO SINGERS

WRITER GORDON LIGHTFOOT

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 over my head

That kill the day and hide the sun

That shroud the night when day is done

Ribbon of darkness over me

Rain is falling 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 flowers did bloom and birds would sing

Ribbon of Darkness over me

In this cold room lying

Don't want to see no one but you

Lord, I wish I could be dying

To forget you

How I wish your old heart could see

How mine just takes 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
