Connie Smith - Ribbon of Darkness

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 fallin' on the meadow
Where once my love and I did lie
Now he is gone from the meadow
My love, goodbye

Ribbon of darkness over me
Where once the world was young as spring
Where flowers are bloomin' birds would sing
Ribbon of darkness over me

In this cold room lying
Don't wanna see no one but you
Lord, I wish I could be dying to forget you

How I wish your heart could see
How my mind just takes the breaks of day
Come on back and take away
Ribbon of darkness over me

La da da da dee-dee, la la la da dee-dee
Hmm, ribbon of darkness over me
