I'm not sayin' that I love you
|
I'm not sayin' that I'll care if you love me
|
I'm not sayin' that I'll care
|
I'm not sayin' I'll be there when you NEED me
|
|
I can't give my heart to you
|
Or tell you that I'll sing your name up to the sky
|
I can't lay the promise down
|
That I'll always be around when you need me
|
|
Now I may not be alone each time you see me
|
Along the street or in a small cafe
|
But still I won't deny you or mistreat you
|
Baby if you let me have my way
|
|
I'm not sayin' I'll be sorry
|
For all the things that I might say that make you cry
|
I can't say I'll always do
|
The things you want me to
|
I'm not sayin' I'll be true but I'll try
|
|
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 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 on the meadow
|
Where once my love and I did lie
|
Now she is gone from the meadow
|
My love goodbye
|
|
Oh how I wish your heart could see
|
How mine just aches and breaks all day
|
Come on home and take away
|
This ribbon of darkness over me
|
|
Yes come on home and take away
|
Ribbon of darkness over me
|
|
