The Scarlet Tide Lyrics - Delivery Man - Elvis Costello

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 

We'll rise above the scarlet tide 

They trickles down through the mountain 

And separates the widow from the bride 

Man goes beyond his own decision 

Gets caught up in a mechanism 

Of swindlers who act like kings 

And jokers who break everything 

The dark of night was swiftly fading 

Close to the dawn of day 

Why would I want him just to lose him again
