It was cold
She was colder
She wore a black silk ribbon in a bow around her throat
For her lover
She walked the halls her young heart singing
Ooo!

He left a note
On the pillow in the lamplight
The words were dancing
Something smooth
On her fingers
The Black Silk Ribbon like a cold comfort
Ooo!

I'm leaving he said and I'll find my own way home

And the hounds in the courtyard
They were waiting for their master
When a cry
From the window
"Don't you love me?"
Oooo!

But for him it was simple
It wasn't til he noticed there was something in her eyes
In the mirror
The ribbon came as a surprise, he cried
Ooo!

Leave me she said and you'll find your own way home

But wasn't there something better waiting
Didn't you feel it too?
Wasn't there something between me and you?
Between me and you?

See the Black Silk Ribbon fly
Fly
See the Black Silk Ribbon fly
Fly

And the hounds
They were waiting

But wasn't there something better waiting
Didn't you feel it too?
Wasn't there something between me and you?
Between me and you?
