White Ribbon Lyrics - Smog

I went down to the harbour 

To meet my new bride 

She said "i'll wear a white ribbon tied high" 

She wore a white ribbon tied high on her thigh 

Dark clouds on the horizon 

A few spatters on her dress 

And with my coat buttoned up to her throat 

From the hotel balcony 

She stared out towards the sea 

From the hotel balcony she stared out away from me 

And if there's one thing i know 

It's when not to speak 

She came lay beside me 

Touched my hair soft as a breeze 

I was just like a child 

On christmas day 

But with the strength of a man 

And just like snow 

Falling into hot milk 

That little woman disappeared 

Against my skin 

When i woke in the morning i walked up towards the balcony
