White Ribbon

I went down to the harbour
 To meet my new bride
 
 She said "i'll wear a white ribbon tied high"
 ♪
 She wore a white ribbon tied high on her thigh
 ♪
 Dark clouds on the horizon
 A few spatters on her dress
 ♪
 And with my coat buttoned up to her throat
 From the hotel balcony
 She stared out towards the sea
 ♪
 From the hotel balcony she stared out away from me
 And if there's one thing i know
 It's when not to speak
 ♪
 She came lay beside me
 Touched my hair soft as a breeze
 She came lay beside me
 Touched my hair soft as a breeze
 ♪
 I was just like a child
 On christmas day
 But with the strength of a man
 ♪
 And just like snow
 Falling into hot milk
 That little woman disappeared
 
 Against my skin
 ♪
 When i woke in the morning i walked up towards the balcony
