Carry Out the Ribbons

[Verse 1]

Reaching for what’s higher

And losing way too soon

There’s an owl in the sky

Looking down on you

You won’t complain below

Promise is on your way

[Verse 2]

See you on the hillside

Call out your name

You taste a melody then

Drown in their lake

You soften and  slow as the heart will take

But all you will find

Will leave you but [?]

[Verse 3]

Carry out the ribbons

Put flowers in your hair

Dance in the clear streams

And rejoice what you hold dear

But sure chance that tumbles down

Riding riding across your path

Heavy on your shoulders

Heavy on your head

There’s a void in your conscience

That’s driving you insane

It is harder now to breathe and to trust

And you won't understand

[Verse 4]

But all you will find

The trouble of mine

But you gotta find a way

Yes try to find a way

To get you back on your feet

And now on no sudden terms

Hold your defeat

Yes while you swim against the tide

And just hold on to get on your feet

And all the heavy rain and all endlessness

Will just create your defeat

[Verse 5]

Slow down slow down

On that machine

Is onto the ground

The eyes will look down on you

The troubles that you’ve been through

But all you will find

The trouble of mine
