Scarlett Ribbons Lyrics - Roisin Murphy

From the cradle to the floor 

My flesh and my bones 

Is that the way it's supposed to be 

How the story goes 

Ribbons and bones 

Like a thorn on a rose 

When the one man who gave it all to you 

Has to let you go 

He found for me scarlet ribbons 

Scarlet ribbons for my hair 

What becomes of a father's love 

When another has his daughter's love 

Don't you know they'll never be here but 

I'll always be your little girl

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

It's all borrowed time 

And you always said I would regret it 

If I grew up to fast 

But my heart is strong and true 

I'm doing fine 

The things that you said 

I won't forget them 

I'll do as you ask 

And always play fair for you 

You found for me scarlet ribbons 

Those scarlet ribbons for my hair 

What becomes of a father's love 

When another has his daughter's love 

Don't you know they'll never be here but 

I'll always be your little girl

There's a part of you 

In every part of me (should know better) 

Maybe you should know 

I won't let that go 

As long as I can cry on your shoulder 

Won't be growing up 

Just older 

You have got to let me go 

You found for me scarlet ribbons 

Those scarlet ribbons for my hair 

What becomes of a father's love 

When another has his daughter's love 

Don't you know they'll never be here but 

I'll always be your little girl 

I'll always be, always be your little girl 

Always be, always be your little girl 

Always be, always be your little girl 

Always be your little girl 

You have got to let it go, oh oh 

You have got to let it go 

You have got to let it go, oh 

You have got to let it go 

You have got to let it go, oh oh 

You have got to let it go
