All About Eve - Scarlet Lyrics
Dress me in scarletRibbons and bows so everyone knowsIm hiding a faceThat hasnt the grace to go free.Dress me in shadowsSad april skies have opened my eyesTo the lie that I liveAnd given the river awayIll change these clothes if I want to, and I doI think that Ive found outWhat no-ones about to tell meI think that Ive found outI dont wear scarlet well.Waiting before mePoets and painters may say;When will you stumble our wayKick off your red shoes and fly nowIll die for their words if I want to, and I do.Always before mePoets and sages may say;Weve been lamenting your fallAnd carving it all into stone hereAnd skimming them into the river, just for you...I think that Ive found outWhat no-ones about to tell meI think that Ive found outThe place where angels fell from...I think that Ive found outI dont wear scarlet well.
