Ribbons in your hair

Ribbons in your hair  (Behind the song)

Most people have had a brush with betrayal and a lack of fidelity. How sad is such an endurance that seems like it will never end.  It is especially hurting when one had toiled with so much effort to make things work. It seems to be a sad consequence of the world we live in with so many lost, undecided and even self-centered souls. It is not only individuals but an entire nation can manifest  traits of disloyalty. The nation of Isreal was called a stiffed-neck people-Exodus 33:3 ,  because they in general did not show humility even though the person who was guiding and protecting them loved them and patiently tried to work with them to lead them out of this condition. Notice what they became to be called and what their deterioration eventually led to:  “How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice; Righteousness used to lodge in her, But now murderers.” (Isaiah 1:21).   She became like the girl with the pretty ribbons in her hair that didn’t stay there. Stubbornness can lead to many negative things even to the extreme of unfaithfulness and in this case winding up as a prostitute without conscience and gratitude.  The Nation of Isreal became such, in spite of it’s loving care by God they turned their back on him. made Idols to worship as their creator and allied themselves with the surrounding nations to trust in rather than the one who had cared for them so tenderly. A true Prostitute indeed!  These are the inspirations behind the song, “Ribbons in your hair”.

LYRICS

The Ribbons in your hair

O The ribbons in your hair, don’t seem to stay there
C 27
And the smile on your face, should be shrouded in disgrace
D7
You visions and your dreams, should awaken you with screams
G

57
Your friends and your crowd, should be seeing you now
27
They should be seeing you now, like I often do
They should be seeing you
They should be knowing you
G
It took to long time to realize

D

You have taken me by surprise
You stumble down the stairs
C
With the ribbons in your hair
To taste the bitter wine

‘Oh The ribbons in your hair, don’t seem to stay there
C

37
And the smile on your face, should be shrouded in disgrace
C

07
You visions and your dreams, should awaken you with screams
Your friends and your crowd, should be seeing you now
They should be seeing you now, like I often do
c

D7
They should be seeing you
They should be knowing you
Repesto FAde with LAST veres slow
