Ribbon Road lyrics

Beautiful

Crying years, healing tears
I've met with you today
light the way, no more to say
you've drawn me near, I've given way

Love didn't judge, didn't put a price on my head
you didn't hold your grudges
you helped me down from all I did and said
you gave me hands to heal my aching head

Chorus
O, I never heard you come
O, and now the love is done
and I feel beautiful

Fearful eyes, defensive lies
put me down in silence
but you didn't mind, you were only ever kind
you're my strong alliance

And today I can look them in the eye
this way my heart doesn't have to die
you make me feel like a queen
it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

Starved and low, a hungry soul
you gave me love when there was none
left out in the cold, a hundred years old
a new face for the old one
And I feel beautiful, so beautiful
so beautiful, now the love is done

"I took the disc home and put it on the CD player and I've got to tell you something. I don't think I can remember a time when I was so completely engrossed, impressed, entranced, I do believe that this song is very special indeed - from the CD Roadside Dreams by Ribbon Road, the beautiful voice of Brenda Heslop - I just think this is simply amazing."

Mike Harding

"Songwriter Brenda Heslop has a secret, and she will whisper it in your ear: but a shocking secret, and its effect on you is much greater than you expect from a whisper. True, Brenda's secrets are in song, but the effect of her quiet vocals and harmonies with husband Geoff whacks you in the lughole and makes you pay attention."
