Cat Stevens Sweet Scarlet Lyrics

Sweet Scarlet Lyrics

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 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 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 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
