Gordon Lightfoot
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're gatherin' o'er my head
They chill the day and hide the sun
Enshroud the night when day is done
Ribbon of darkness over me

Rain is fallin' on the meadow (Oooh)
Where once my love and I did lie (Oooh)
Now he is gone from the meadow (Oooh)
My love, goodbye

Ribbon of darkness over me
Where once the world was young as spring
Where clouds would bloom, and birds would sing
Ribbon of darkness over me

(Ooh ooh ooh) (Doo doo doo)
(Ooh ooh ooh) (Doo doo doo)
(Ooh ooh ooh) (Doo doo doo)

In this cold room a-lyin' (Oooh)
Don't wanna see no one but you (Oooh)
Lord, I wish I could be dyin' (Oooh)
To forget you (Ohh ohh ohh)
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

La da-da-da de-de-de (Doo doo doo-doo doo)
La da-da-da de-de-de (Doo doo doo-doo doo)
Hmm hmm hmm ribbon of darkness over me
