Ribbonds and 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 the 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
Medals and glass, a life in the bin
Behind the walls that you lived in
Life, I love you
