Lyrics Ribbon of darkness over me since my true love walked out the door Tears I never had before, ribbon of darkness over me Clouds're 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 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 Lord I wish I could be dying to forget you How I wish your heart could see, my mind just takes the breaks of day Come on back and take away ribbon of darkness over me La da da da dee de dee, la da da da dee de dee Hmm, hmm, hmm, ribbon of darkness over me Songwriters: Gordon Lightfoot Ribbon of Darkness lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc https://www.google.com/search?source=hp&q=RIBBON+OF+DARKNESS+by+CONNIE+SMITH&oq=RIBBON+OF+DARKNESS+by+CONNIE+SMITH&gs_l=psy-ab.12...0.0.0.7416.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1..64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.NMhhtxo1-QE .
