Cat Stevens - Sweet Scarlet Lyrics
Once she came into my room, feathered hat an allWearing a warm wool shawl wrapped around her shouldersTwo eyes like lights, milky marble whites looking up at meLooking for a way, moons in an endless dayAll I knew was with her then, no couldnt see the timeAs we drank down the wine to the last sweet scarletHow was I to wonder why or even question thisUnderneath her her kiss I was so unguardedEvery bottles empty now and all those dreams are goneAh, but the song carries on...so holyShe was so much younger then, wild like the windA gypsy with a grin from and old far away countryBut deep beneath her curls,Beneath this misty pearl, there was more to seeShe could move mountains in the dark as silent as a knifeShe cut loose a life that she never no never really wantedAll those days are frozen now and all those scars are goneAh, but the song carries on...so holyCome let us drink again, before the second showI want you so to know theres no bridge between usAll those gates have opened now, and through the lightHas shoneAh, but the song carries on...so holy
