Sweet Scarlet Lyrics - Catch Bull At Four - 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 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 

Photos 

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
