Lord I wish I could be dying to forget you
Rain is fallin' on the meadow where once my love and I did lie
Ribbon of darkness over me where once the world was young as spring
Where clouds're bloomin' birds were would sing, ribbon of darkness over me
In this cold room lying don't wanna see no one but you
Clouds're gathering o'er my head they chill the day and hide the sun
Come on back and take away ribbon of darkness over me
And shroud the night when day is done, ribbon of darkness over me
Now he is gone from the meadow my love goodbye
La da da da dee de dee, la da da da dee de dee
How I wish your heart could see, my mind just takes the breaks of day
