I go down to Texas
To kiss my grandmother goodbye
She forgets things
But when I look her in the eye
I see my father
And he's been gone so very long
In the name of time travel
Help him to hear to my little song
And send a lover
Up to my bedroom when you can
When they find out
I'm not a young American
And they whip me
With the belt of Orion
Under which he
My black haired love
Lays dying
My black haired love
Lays dying
Out in the street
He lays dying
I wonder the Garden of Eden
In search of a way
To stop the bleeding
'Cause when you're a friend to me
I'll always love you in that way
And when you believe in me
I'll lift you from your little grave
When you're a friend to me
I'll always love you in that way
And when you believe in me
I'll lift you from your little grave
And I'll tie a ribbon
(I'll tie a ribbon)
I'll tie a ribbon
In your name
I'll tie a ribbon
(I'll tie a ribbon)
I'll tie a ribbon
In your name
I'll tie a ribbon
I'll tie a ribbon
In your name
I'll tie a ribbon
Tie a ribbon
In your name
Tie a ribbon
In your name
I'll tie a ribbon
In your name
I'll tie a ribbon
