Ribbons 'Round My Tongue

歌詞

Oh lady fair, your stranglin' hair Ribbons 'round my tongue I try to speak, my thoughts grow weak From all the yarns you've spun I heard them say that evil may Walk in beauty's shoes But if ever I could love myself Then I'll stop loving you Were you out the other night Flirting with all my friends? I heard you told a joke or two With my name at the end Well, come 'round home, i'm all alone And tell me that just ain't true But if ever I could love myself Then I'll stop loving you When you're gone, I'll carry on It's never meant to last I'd much prefer to sit alone And drink about the past So I say "some how, some way" Till I believe it's true But if ever I could love myself Then I'll stop loving you
