Ribbons and Leaves

In an old house in an old street You found me and a tv There was no bed, there were no chairs There was no roof, there were no stairs Ribbons and leaves and time in a tin Behind the wall in the kitchen Life I love you Got your old cap and tobacco tin And a torn shirt that you died in How we prayed for you to come on home My soldier, my dead prince Ribbons and leaves and time in a tin Behind the wall in the kitchen Meadows and glass and life in the bin Behind the walls that you lived in Life I love you
