Medley: I'm Not Sayin'/ribbon Of Darkness Lyrics - Gord's Gold - Gordon Lightfoot

I'm not sayin' that I love you 

I'm not sayin' that I'll care if you love me 

I'm not sayin' that I'll care 

I'm not sayin' I'll be there when you need me 

I can't give my heart to you 

Or tell you that I'll sing your name up to the sky 

I can't lay the promise down 

That I'll always be around when you need me 

Now I may not be alone each time you see me 

All along the street or in a small cafe 

But still I won't deny you or mistreat you 

Baby, if you let me have my way 

I'm not sayin' I'll be sorry 

For all the things that I might say that make you cry 

I can't say I'll always do the things you want me to 

I'm not sayin' I'll be true but I'll try 

Ribbon of darkness over me 

Since my true love walked out the door 

Tears I never had before 

Ribbon of darkness over me 

Clouds are gatherin' over my head 

That chill the day and hide the sun 

That shroud the night when day is done 

Ribbon of darkness over me 

Rain is falling on the meadow 

Where once my love and I did lie 

Now she is gone from the meadow 

My love, goodbye 

Oh, how I wish your heart could see 

How mine just aches and breaks all day 

Come on home and take away 

This ribbon of darkness over me 

Come on home and take away 

Ribbon of darkness over me
