Ribbon of Darkness Lyrics

Poco Ribbon Of Darkness written by Gordon Lightfoot
Rusty Young vocals/dobro
Paul Cotton guitar/vocals
Charlie Harrison bass
Steve Chapman drums
Kim Bullard keyboards
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never had before
Ribbon of darkness over me
Clouds a-gatherin' o'er my head
That chill the day and hide the sun
That shroud the night when day is done
Ribbon of darkness over me
Rain is falling in the meadow
Where once my love and I did lie
Now she is gone but not for gotten
My love goodbye
Ribbon of darkness over me
Where once the world was young as spring
Flowers bloom and birds sing
Ribbon of darkness over me
In this cold room lyin'
Don't want to see no one but you
Lord I wish I could be dyin'
To forget you
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never had before
Ribbon of darkness over me
Ribbon of darkness over me
