I WRAPPED HER IN RIBBONS - Ars Nova

I wrapped her in ribbons

And I held her in line

So I’d know her

She counted her mornings

So I thought she was mine

And I showed her

By believing I’d not really left her

When I shouted my silence and left her

Listening lamb (listening lamb)

Why was I the one

Who forgot what I thought I had known?

Tell me, and why am I the one

Who has seen Barcelona alone?

I sailed from her harbor

And I sailed from her sea

Though I loved them

Part of a part of

What I wanted to be

Truly loved them

When our boundaries were there

I forgave them

When they’d gone, I did not care

To save them

So I said goodbye

Why was I the one

Who forgot what I thought I had known?

Tell me, and why am I the one

Who has seen Barcelona alone?

Why am I the one?

Am I the one?
