Sweet Scarlet
Cat Stevens
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 timeas we drank down the wine to the last sweet scar-let 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 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 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
