A little black ribbon
Cheyenne
A little black ribbon
Crisp in a bow, tells a story of
The night two lovers declared their love.
Tied around a bouquet of dreams
He gave it to her with a diamond ring.
A little black ribbon
Curled 'round a dry red rose Tied to the
letters hidden away, Written from sea, a
new one each week From Miss You
River to Adoring Peak.
A little black ribbon
Worn and frayed, stuffed in a box On top
of a shelf where loneliness walks. The
same little bow that tied letters aged
Hung her dreams inside his cage.
