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
