Song language: English
Sweet Scarlet |
| Wearing a warm wool shawl wrapped around her shoulders |
| Two eyes like lights, milky marble whites looking up at me |
| Looking for a way, moon’s in an endless day |
| All I knew was with her then, no couldn’t see the time |
| As we drank down the wine to the last sweet Scarlet |
| How was I to wonder why or even question this |
| Underneath her kiss, I was so unguarded |
| Every bottle’s empty now and all those dreams are gone |
| Ah, but the song carries on, so holy |
| She was so much younger then, wild like the wind |
| A gypsy with a grin from and old far away country |
| But deep beneath her curls |
| Beneath this misty pearl, there was more to see |
| She could move mountains in the dark as silent as a knife |
| She cut loose a life that she never, no never really wanted |
| All those days are frozen now and all those scars are gone |
| Ah, but the song carries on, so holy |
| Come let us drink again, before the second show |
| I want you so to know, that there’s no bridge between us |
| All those gates have opened now |
| And through the light has shone |
| Ah, but the song carries on, so holy |
