Blue Rodeo - Black Ribbon lyrics
[Blue Rodeo - Black Ribbon lyrics]
Silent as the stars that sleep
In deep dark waters
Her face forever hidden for she
Wears the black ribbon
Her face forever hidden
It's from nowhere that I came and to nowhere
I'll return again
And the same fate wait's for you, my friend
Blessed or forsaken
She wears the black ribbon
Nearest to all things, patiently waiting
So let the angels sing, silently weeping
So let the angels sing
It's only heaven descending, mmm
It's only heaven descending, mmm
It's only heaven descending
Hold her in your arms, hold her like a lover
More precious than any other
For she bears a heavy burden
And her heart's forever broken
Nearest to all things, patiently waiting
So let the angels sing, silently weeping
So let the angels sing
It's only heaven descending, mmm
It's only heaven descending, mmm
It's only heaven descending
In deep dark waters
Her face forever hidden for she
Wears the black ribbon
Her face forever hidden
It's from nowhere that I came and to nowhere
I'll return again
And the same fate wait's for you, my friend
Blessed or forsaken
She wears the black ribbon
Nearest to all things, patiently waiting
So let the angels sing, silently weeping
So let the angels sing
It's only heaven descending, mmm
It's only heaven descending, mmm
It's only heaven descending
Hold her in your arms, hold her like a lover
More precious than any other
For she bears a heavy burden
And her heart's forever broken
Nearest to all things, patiently waiting
So let the angels sing, silently weeping
So let the angels sing
It's only heaven descending, mmm
It's only heaven descending, mmm
It's only heaven descending
