Lightfoot, Gordon - Medley: I'm Not Sayin' / Ribbon Of Darkness Lyrics
I'm not sayin' that I love you
I'm not sayin' that I'll care if you love me
I'm not sayin' that I'll care
I'm not sayin' I'll be there when you NEED me
Or tell you that I'll sing your name up to the sky
I can't lay the promise down
That I'll always be around when you need me
Now I may not be alone each time you see me
Along the street or in a small cafe
But still I won't deny you or mistreat you
Baby if you let me have my way
I'm not sayin' I'll be sorry
I can't say I'll always do
The things you want me to
I'm not sayin' I'll be true but I'll try
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never had before
Ribbon of darkness over me
Clouds are gatherin' o'er my head
That chill the day and hide the sun
That shroud the night when day is done
Ribbon of darkness over me
Rain is falling on the meadow
Where once my love and I did lie
Now she is gone from the meadow
My love goodbye
Oh how I wish your heart could see
How mine just aches and breaks all day
Come on home and take away
This ribbon of darkness over me
Yes come on home and take away
Ribbon of darkness over me

Lightfoot, Gordon Medley: I'm Not Sayin' / Ribbon Of Darkness Comments
Ribbon of Darkness is a beautiful, heart rending song that gets me going every time I hear it. The lyrics..the lyrics.

GORDIE, I'M STILL WORKIN' ON CHANGING FROG PARK TO GORDIE LIGHTFOOT PARK R I P THE PAV !!!
One of my favorite songs ever
Gordon Lightfoot was and is one of the best ever. I like all kinds of music, but GL has a special way with a tune. You can smell the salt water.
Actually, Gord's from Orillia, ON, and he's been a proud Torontonian for over 50 years. So he's actually from fresh water country, but there's something so...Canadian about his songs. If you like this, check out his original solo-acoustic recording of "Ribbon"- recorded after Marty Robbins topped the country charts. It's a treasure. (His debut LP also included the songs Peter, Paul and Mary popularized: "For Lovin' Me" and "Early Morning Rain", great folkie-pop standards to this day.)
The master! I love going up to the mountains and cranking Gord's Gold. Especially this song. Reminds me of when I was married. Me and my ex used to walk hand in hand through the woods no matter what the season was. In the car, Gord was always in the tape deck.
its great outdoors music isn't it? a long time ago, i was deep in the mountains of Montana, and listened to "The Watchman's out", and it was cranked, and it totally fit right in.
What happened???? Why ex now??
Excellent pair of songs by the great Gordon Lightfoot !!! I remember hearing Marty Robbins do a great cover of Ribbon of Darkness. Many great artists loved Gord's Gold !!!
Bryan, you're right I recall the late Jim Croce gave an interview to Rolling Stone in which he said "all I ever wanted to be was Gordon Lightfoot"
Mama introduced me to this awesome dude when I was just a little girl. This is my most favorite.
Grew up with him. Thank you Sir, for being there!
I found this album at a 2nd had store
The jacket was a little worn, but both albums were in perfect condition.

I love this album
Gord you rule and you reign....
I called my cat Gordy as he walked in front of the TV

actually thinking about it,I saved the child by leaving it behind...take a hike Lawyers
Received Gord's Gold for my 14th birthday in 1975. One of the greatest troubadours of all time.
But he isn't a troubadour. Troubadours are french lyrical poets that existed during the medieval time period. He's more along the lines of singer/songwriter.
Yvonne Sohn ...I’ve always been in love with this man...
@Scarlet Begonia. Semantics. But you just couldn't help your ego from trying to ruin Yvonne's positive comment, could you? The term 'troubadour' is often used to describe singer/songwriters in the modern music industry and is part of the vernacular used by music reviewers and critics all the time. I'm sure you are aware of that, yet in a bid to feel intellectually superior you felt the need to remind us of the classical definition. Did it make you feel better?
Scarlet Begonia
He’s Canadian though. You can’t say he may not be French.
Tacit Observer
What ego are you talking about? Maybe you should be looking at your own for getting so fed up by a perfectly valid factual statement. But factual and semantic statements are clearly appreciable, nothing to take offense of like you did.
One of the greatest artists in history
I rate Gordy as #1 and all else fight behind him
I need a Gord's Gold t-shirt.
Patrick O'Donnell fuck yeah
Country/Western legend Marty Robbins had a #1 hit with "Ribbon Of Darkness" one year before Gordon Lightfoot recorded it! Marty recognized Gordy's beautiful songwriting early on. Cheers!
oh wow I didn't know that. I really like Marty Robbins too.
In my "Lightfoot" playlist with the original 1964 versions of both songs and Poco's cover of "RoD".
trfesok ...Red Shea rules...
This is my favorite of all his songs!
Early Morning Rain is very nice as well. Hard to pick.
Oh, that voice!
His best!
