I'm Not Sayin' / Ribbon of Darkness - Gordon Lightfoot

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 want 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
