Ribbons And Bows

(álbum: Riches - 1988)

She carries her burden like a burning flame
And it's hurting 'cause its never tamed
Not like her, she's not wild and free
And her walk don't break easily

She'll let it down once
She'll let it down twice
She'll let it all go
But everyone knows
It's just ribbons and bows

She takes her burden from where she takes her strength
No contradiction from within herself
Outside shes smiling, she don't believe
The lies that shes spinning
She don't know it's a sin

To let it down once
She'll let it down twice
She'll let it all go
But everyone knows
It's just ribbons and bows

So take your burden and let it down slow
Push your hair back let your face glow
Break your step from a forward march
And run free till those feelings pass

And let it down once
She'll let it down twice
She'll let it all go
But everyone knows
It's just ribbons and bows
