Ribbons & Leaves

Ribbons & 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
