Gordon Lightfoot
Ribbon of Darkness
[Verse 1]
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I've never had before
Ribbon of darkness over me

[Verse 2]
Clouds are gatherin' o'er my head
They chill the day and hide the sun
And shroud the night when day is done
Ribbon of darkness over me

[Bridge]
Rain is fallin' on the meadow
Where once my love and I did lie
Now he is gone from the meadow
My lovе, goodbye

[Verse 3]
Ribbon of darkness over mе
Where once the world was young as spring
Where flowers did bloom and birds did sing
Ribbon of darkness over me

[Bridge]
In this cold room lyin'
Don't wanna see no one but you
Oh, I wish I could be dyin'
To forget you
[Verse 4]
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
Come on back and take away
Ribbon of darkness over me
