Song Title: Ribbon Bows
Artist: Joshua James
Album: Sing Songs


a pretty picture of your older sister
that i will hide beneath my bed but
your broken mother, about the cover
you don't show your face
around these parts no more

was it really worth it all
to give up laughter in the hall
and did you cut your ribbon bows
for the man
for the man that seems to know

you let him use you
you let him cut you down
until your soul was darker than the well
but i still love you
i still have your picture by my bed
and it greets me every morning

was it really worth it all
to give up your laughter in the hall
and did you cut your ribbon bows
for the man [who] seems to know

did he promise, did he say
that you'd be home again some day
'cause while the sun it finally sets
we'll find you drowning

you don't say but those words hurt anyway
to california to get your career well on it's way
you'll burn out bright, love
do you know which part to give away
of the star
of the star that you have sold for fame

I saw Joshua James live in Appleton, He's got some real unique and sweet stuff. He was touring with Cory Chisel, who also has a lot of musical talent...
