Ribbons Lyrics

Jess Klein Ribbons

The light streams through the eastern window
6 a.m. settles on your face
Makes every thin line show
And puts you in your place

I mean to tell you I don't care no more
If we grow old and wrinkled blind
Cause I know what I'm waking for

So c'mon c'mon
Even with those ribbons 'round your eyes
C'mon c'mon
Even though your heart has been disguised
It's a hard world
But if we make it through
I'm gonna wrap ribbons around you

This life's been hard to hold on to
Slip its burn at the turn of a dime
Leave no doubt where I run to
My last breath for your busted road sign
That's pointing on a higher hill to climb

(Chorus)

Even the angel said
A light don't always shine
The darkest riverbed
The steepest hill unwinds
And in the mirror your whole face is comin' loose
And wound around your haw a square you didn't choose
Well honey that's from all those rivers pushing through

(Chorus)
