Billie Marten – Ribbon lyrics
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
And as soon as you're seen it it's gone
As soon as you've seen it it's gone
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
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
As soon as you've seen it it's gone
As soon as you've seen it it's gone
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
Home ties me up
With discontent
Since the day I first went
Yearning to be back again
How will I return and when
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
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
And as soon as you're seen it it's gone
As soon as you've seen it it's gone
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
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
As soon as you've seen it it's gone
As soon as you've seen it it's gone
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
Home ties me up
With discontent
Since the day I first went
Yearning to be back again
How will I return and when
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
