[Verse 1]
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never cried before
Ribbon of darkness over me

[Verse 2]
Clouds are gatherin' o'er my head
It chills the day and hide the sun
It shrouds the night when day is done
Ribbon of darkness over me

[Bridge]
Rain is fallin' on the meadow
Where once my love and I did lie
Now she's gone from the meadow
My love, goodbye

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
In this cold room lyin'
Don't wanna see no one but you
Lord, I wish I could be dyin'
To forget you
[Verse 4]
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
