Lyrics I WRAPPED HER IN RIBBONS - Ars Nova

I WRAPPED HER IN RIBBONS

I wrapped her in ribbons
And I held her in line
So I’d know her
She counted her mornings
So I thought she was mine
And I showed her
By believing I’d not really left her
When I shouted my silence and left her
Listening lamb (listening lamb)
Why was I the one
Who forgot what I thought I had known?
Tell me, and why am I the one
Who has seen Barcelona alone?
I sailed from her harbor
And I sailed from her sea
Though I loved them
Part of a part of
What I wanted to be
Truly loved them
When our boundaries were there
I forgave them
When they’d gone, I did not care
To save them
So I said goodbye
Why was I the one
Who forgot what I thought I had known?
Tell me, and why am I the one
Who has seen Barcelona alone?
Why am I the one?
Am I the one?
