| Ribbon of darkness over me Since my true love walked out the door
|
| Tears I never had before
|
| Ribbon of darkness over me Clouds a-atherin' o’er 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 did sing
|
| Ribbon of darkness over me Here in this cold room lyin'
|
| Don’t want to see no one but you
|
| Lord I wish I could be dyin'
|
| To forget you
|
| Oh how I wish your heart could see
|
| How mine just aches and breaks all day
|
| Come on home and take away
|
| This ribbon of darkness over me |
