Ribbon Of Darkness Lyrics - Jan Howard

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 gathering o'er my head they chill the day and hide the sun 

And 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 he's gone from the meadow my love goodbye 

Ribbon of darkness over me where once the world was young as spring 

Where clouds did bloom and birds would sing ribbon of darkness over me 

[ steel ] 

In this cold room lying don't want to see no one but you 

Oh Lord I wish I could be dying to forget you 

How I wish your heart could see my mind just takes the breaks oll day 

Come on back and take away ribbon of darkness over me
