Ribbon Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ribbon of the river by my side
I walk the shores and watch it unwind
The railway tracks will leave a glimpse of the light
From the train, trailing sparks of gold behind
[Pre-Chorus]
And as soon as you're seen it, it's gone
And as soon as you've seen it, it's gone
[Chorus]
Secrets of the city
Make an aching in my heart
And the mysteries that tease me so
I long to belong, but I always have to go
[Verse 2]
People stare and wonder why I stray
They don't understand that wandering's my way
I'll never stop, though time is slipping away
The elusive light, shining strange on my face
[Pre-Chorus]
And as soon as you're seen it, it's gone
And as soon as you're seen it, it's gone
[Chorus]
Secrets of the city
Make an aching in my heart
And the mysteries that tease me so
I long to belong, but I always have to go
[Bridge]
Home ties me up with discontent
Since the day I first went
Yearning to be back again
How will I return and when
[Chorus]
Secrets of the city
Make an aching in my heart
And the mysteries that tease me so
I long to belong, but I always have to go
