Ribbon of Darkness:Gordon lightfoot. Top of the charts in '66. 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.
