All About Eve - Scarlet

Текст песни

Dress me in scarlet
Ribbons and bows so everyone knows
I’m hiding a face
That hasn’t the grace to go free
Dress me in shadows
Sad April skies have opened my eyes
To the lie that I live
And given the river away
I’ll change these clothes if I want to, and I do
I think that I’ve found out
What no-one's about to tell me
I think that I’ve found out
I don’t wear scarlet well
Waiting before me
Poets and painters may say;
«When will you stumble our way
Kick off your red shoes and fly now»
I’ll die for their words if I want to, and I do
Always before me
Poets and sages may say;
«We've been lamenting your fall
And carving it all into stone here
And skimming them into the river, just for you…»
I think that I’ve found out
What no-one's about to tell me
I think that I’ve found out
The place where angels fell from…
I think that I’ve found out
I don’t wear scarlet well
