Sweet Scarlet

(verse 1) Once she came in-to my room, feathered hat, and all, Wearing a warm wool shawl wrapped a-round her should-ers. Two eyes like lights, Milky marble whites looking up at me, looking for a way, Moons in an endless day. And all I knew was with her then, No, couldn't see the time,as we drank down the wine to the last sweet scar-let (verse 2) How was I to wonder why, or even question this? Underneath her kiss, I was so un-guard-ed . Every bottle's empty now, and all those dreams are gone, Ah, but the song goes on so ho-ly (verse 3) She was so much younger then, wild like the wind, a gypsy with a grin, From an old far away coun-try, but deep beneath her curls, Be-neath 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 want-ed. All those days are frozen now, and all those scars are gone, ah, but the song carries on so ho-ly (verse 4) Come let us drink again, be-fore the second show, I want you so to know ,there's no bridge be-tween us, All those gates have opened now, and through the light has shone, ah, but the song carries on so ho-ly
