Ribbon Of Darkness
Marty Robbins
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'
o'er 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
Ribbon of darkness over me
Where once the world
was young as spring
Where flowers did bloom
and birds would sing
Ribbon of darkness over me
<interlude DF>
In this cold room lying
Don't want to see
no one but you
Lord I wish
I could be dying
To forget you
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
