Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never cried before
Ribbon of darkness over me
Clouds are gatherin′ o'er my head
It chills the day and hides the sun
It shrouds the night when day′s done
Ribbon of darkness over me
Rain is fallin' on the meadow
Where once my love and I did lie
Now she's gone from the meadow
My love goodbye
Ribbon of darkness over me
Where once the world was young as spring
For flowers to bloom and birds did sing
Ribbon of darkness over me
In this cold room a-lyin′
Don′t want to see no one but you
Lord, I wish I could be dyin'
To forget you
How I wish your heart could see
How a mind 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
