Sweet Scarlet — текст песни (Cat Stevens)

Once she came into my room, feathered hat an all

Wearing a warm wool shawl wrapped around her shoulders

Two eyes like lights, milky marble whites looking up at me

Looking for a way, moons in an endless day

All I knew was with her then, no couldnt 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 her kiss I was so unguarded

Every bottles 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 theres no bridge between us

All those gates have opened now, and through the light

Has shone

Ah, but the song carries on...so holy
