Blue Ribbons |
One raven’s gone, one summer changed me. |
He took the ribbons from my hair, |
And gave me wide and naked eyes to stare. |
One raven’s gone, and he has changed me. |
I hear the song his loving played. |
It echoes in a world we never made. |
I don’t wear blue ribbons now, |
I don’t wind my heart with laces. |
I don’t smile at lovers now, |
I wind my eyes with rivers |
From the places they will find. |
The word is full of lovers |
Loving hate and only loving |
Others of their kind. |
My raven’s gone, they took him from me |
On black and shining wings of song. |
Upon a wind of freedom swept along. |
My raven’s gone, they took him from me. |
I hear the laughter of their hate |
And see the arrows fly from freedom’s gate. |
I don’t wear blue ribbons now, |
I don’t wind my heart with laces. |
I don’t smile at lovers now, |
I wind my eyes with rivers |
From the places they will find. |
The word is full of lovers |
Loving hate and only loving |
Others of their kind. |
My love is gone, but love is with me. |
The song he sang is in me now. |
The tree of love will bear a loving bough. |
Though he is gone, his voice is in me. |
I hear him shout, I am not blind, |
I am a man and men are all one kind. |
I don’t wear blue ribbons now, |
I don’t wind my heart with laces. |
I don’t smile at lovers now, |
I wind my eyes with rivers |
From the places they will find. |
The word is full of lovers |
Loving hate and only loving |
Others of their kind. |
But maybe they are learning now, |
Maybe just a few are learning. |
