Elvis Costello - The Scarlet Tide (feat. Emmylou Harris) Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Well I recall his parting words
  • Must I accept his fate?
  • Or take myself far from this place
  • I thought I heard a black bell toll
  • A little bird did sing
  • Man has no choice
  • When he wants everything
  • [Chorus:]
  • We'll rise above the scarlet tide
  • That trickles down through the mountain
  • And separates the widow from the bride
  • Man goes beyond his own decision
  • Gets caught up in the mechanism
  • Of swindlers who act like kings
  • And brokers who break everything
  • The dark of night was swiftly fading
  • Close to the dawn of the day
  • Why would I want him
  • Just to lose him again
  • [Chorus 2x]
