Sweet Scarlet - Cat Stevens

Wearing a warm wool shawl wrapped around her shoulders

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

Looking for a way, moon’s 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 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, that 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
