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
