Ribbon Of Darkness Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

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 kill 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 

And now she is gone from the meadow 

My love goodbye 

Ribbon of darkness over me 

Where once the world was young as spring 

Where flowers did bloom and birds did sing 

Ribbon of darkness over me 

Here in this cold room lyin 

Dont want to see no one but You 

Lord I wish I could be dyin 

To forget You 

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 

Yes come on home and take away 

This ribbon of darkness over me
