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 need 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 a-gatherin' o'er my head 
That kill 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 

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 

Come on home and take away 
Ribbon of darkness over me
