I Wear a Ring of Silver...

  I wear a ring of silver, on my finger, 

  on my hand,

  I wear a ring of silver, but no longer

  a diamond band.

  It's a knot of love, a reminder of

  love that I have lost.

  It's a knot of love, a reminder of

  what was blighted by the frost.

  I wear a ring of silver, on my finger,

  on my hand,

  I wear a ring of silver, but no longer

  a diamond band.

  My true love is not truly mine,

  I doubt he'll ever be.

  And love I do not seek to find,

  except only with he.

  I wear a ring of silver, on my finger,

  on my hand,

  I wear a ring of silver, but no longer

  a diamond band.

  My eyes weep tears, and my heart, it 

  weeps blood.

  I cannot stanch the flow, nor can I

  dam the flood.

  I wear a ring of silver, on my finger, 

  on my hand,

  I wear a ring of silver, but no longer

  a diamond band.

  My hand was once encircled by a 

  larger, loving one.

  But when the battle came down,

  he only turned to run.
