CHORUS:
                       
Ribbon of darkness over me,
                                 
Since my true love walked out the door.
                  
Tears I never had before.
                      
Ribbon of darkness over me.

#1. 

Clouds a-atherin' o'er my head,

That kill the day and hide the sun.

That shroud the night when day is done,

Ribbon of darkness over me.


BRIDGE:
                   
Rain is falling on the meadow,
                         
Where once my love and I did lie.
                     
Now she is gone from the meadow,
      
My love goodbye.

#2. 

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.

#3. (Chorus #2)
                   
Here in this cold room lyin',
                         
Don't want to see no one but you.
                   
Lord I wish I could be dyin',
    
To forget you.


CHORUS:


#4. 

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. 


CHORUS:

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
