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 gathering over my head they chill the day and hide the sun And shroud the night when day is done ribbon of darkness over me Rain is fallin' on the meadow where once my love and I did lie Now she's gone from the meadow my love goodbye Ribbon of darkness over me where once the world was young as spring Where clouds bloom and birds would sing ribbon of darkness over me [ ac.guitar - guitar ] In this cold room lying I don't want to see no one but you Lord I wish I could be dying to forget you Oh how I wish your heart could see my mind just takes the breaks of day Come on back and take away ribbon of darkness over me Come on back and take away this ribbon of darkness over me
