Black Ribbon - Blue Rodeo

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 waits 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

It’s only heaven descending

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

It’s only heaven descending

It’s only heaven descending
