Ribbons Songtext
von Jess Klein

The light streams through the eastern window
Six AM settles on your face
Now every thin line shows
And puts you in your place

I mean to tell you I don′t care no more
If we grow old and wrinkled, blind
As long as I know what I'm waking for

So, come on, come on
Even with those ribbons ′round your eyes
Come on, come on
Even though your heart has been disguised
It's a hard world if we make it through
I'm gonna wrap ribbons around you

This life′s been hard to hold on to
Slip its burn at the turn of a dime
And leave no doubt where I run to
My last breath for your busted road sign
It′s pointing on a higher hill to climb


So, come on, come on
Even with those ribbons 'round your eyes
Come on, come on
Even though your heart has been denied
It′s a hard world if we make it through
I'm gonna wrap ribbons around you

Even the angels said the light don′t always shine
The darkest riverbed, the steepest hill unwinds
And in the mirror your whole face is coming loose
And wound around your jaw, a square you didn't choose
Oh baby, that′s from all those ribbons pushing through

Come on, come on
Even though the night has left you blind
And there's no proof of a sweet ocean in the pines
It's a well, babe, if we swim it through
I′m gonna wrap ribbons around you

Come on, come on
Even with those ribbons ′round your eyes
Come on, come on
Even though your heart has been denied
It's a hard world if we make it through
I′m gonna wrap ribbons around you


Come on, come on
Even with those ribbons 'round your eyes
Come on, come on
Even though your heart has been denied
Come on, come on
I′m gonna wrap ribbons around you
I'm gonna wrap ribbons around you
