Black Silk Ribbon
It was cold, she was colder
She wore a black silk ribbon
In a bow around her throat
For her lover, she walked the halls
Her young heart singing, ooh
He left a note on the pillow in the lamplight
The words were dancing
Something smooth on her fingers
The black silk ribbon
Like a cold comfort, ooh
I'm leaving he said
And I'll find my own way home
And the hounds in the courtyard
They were waiting for their master
When a cry from the window
Don't you love me? Ooh
But for him it was simple
It wasn't 'til he noticed
There was something in her eyes
In the mirror the ribbon came as a surprise
He cried, ooh
Leave me she said
And you'll find your own way home
But wasn't there something better waiting
Didn't you feel it too?
Wasn't there something between me and you?
Between me and you
See the black silk ribbon fly, fly
See the black silk ribbon fly, fly
And the hounds, they were waiting
But wasn't there something better waiting
Didn't you feel it too?
Wasn't there something between me and you?
Between me and you
She wore a black silk ribbon
In a bow around her throat
For her lover, she walked the halls
Her young heart singing, ooh
He left a note on the pillow in the lamplight
The words were dancing
Something smooth on her fingers
The black silk ribbon
Like a cold comfort, ooh
I'm leaving he said
And I'll find my own way home
And the hounds in the courtyard
They were waiting for their master
When a cry from the window
Don't you love me? Ooh
But for him it was simple
It wasn't 'til he noticed
There was something in her eyes
In the mirror the ribbon came as a surprise
He cried, ooh
Leave me she said
And you'll find your own way home
But wasn't there something better waiting
Didn't you feel it too?
Wasn't there something between me and you?
Between me and you
See the black silk ribbon fly, fly
See the black silk ribbon fly, fly
And the hounds, they were waiting
But wasn't there something better waiting
Didn't you feel it too?
Wasn't there something between me and you?
Between me and you
