lyrics

ribbons

I
I counted the ribbons that lay on your bed
Worn not for me - woven, black, silken thread
The rain soaked the hours
And trees twisted bare in the night
There in the night

Oh my love
What binds you to me?
What secrets you wind in those ribbons you tie endlessly?
Oh my love

II
And I leafed through the letters they’d written to you
The lines laced with heartaches they never out grew
The fuel nursed the flame of the lamp
In a dim dance of spite
That danced through the night

Oh my love
What binds you to me?
What sins might I find as these words testify endlessly?
Oh my love

************************
Come darling tell me truly
Say you will only be mine
And give your heart unto me
Let no other’s with your arms entwine
Oh my love
************************

III
I drew back the curtains that hang in your den
The coarse, yellowed fabric that time had worn thin
The sun strangled the moon and I bowed down to bathe in its light
There in the light

Oh my love
What binds you to me?
What stirs in your mind as the days trickle by endlessly?
Oh my love
