Blue Rodeo - Black Ribbon lyrics

rate me

Silent as the stars <br />

That sleep in deep dark waters <br />

Her face forever hidden <br />

For she wears the black ribbon <br />

Her face forever hidden <br />

<br />

It's from nowhere that I came <br />

And to nowhere I'll return again <br />

And the same fate waits for you my friend <br />

Blessed or forsaken <br />

She wears the black ribbon <br />

<br />

Nearest to all things <br />

Patiently waiting <br />

So let the angels sing <br />

Silently weeping <br />

So let the angels sing <br />

It's only heaven descending <br />

It's only heaven descending <br />

It's only heaven descending <br />

<br />

Hold her in your arms <br />

Hold her like a lover <br />

More precious than any other <br />

For she bears a heavy burden <br />

And her heart’s forever broken <br />

<br />

Nearest to all things <br />

Patiently waiting <br />

So let the angels sing <br />

Silently weeping <br />

So let the angels sing <br />

It's only heaven descending <br />

It's only heaven descending <br />

It's only heaven descending
