black silk ribbon
song taken from the album the sun came out by 7 worlds collide . song sung by kt
tunstall and bic runga
Em , Am , G , B major
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
Em , Am , G , B major
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
Em , G , D
ooo!
Em , Am , G , B major
i’m leaving he said and i’ll find my own way home
Em , Am , G , B major
and the hounds in the courtyard
they were waiting for their master
when a cry
from the window
“don’t you love me ?”
Em , G , D
ooo!
Em , Am , G , B major
but for him it was simple
it wasn’t till he noticed there was something in her eyes
in the mirror
the ribbon came as a surprise , he cried
Em , G , D
ooo!
Em , Am , G , B major
leave me she said and you’ll find your own way home
C , G , D
but wasn’t there something better waiting
didn’t you feel it too?
Em , G , B major , D
see the black silk ribbon fly , fly
see the black silk ribbon fly , fly
and the hounds
they were waiting
C , G , D
but wasn’t there something better waiting
didn0t you feel it too?
wasn’t there something between me and you?
between me and you?
