SCARLET TIDE

ELVIS COSTELLO

Lyrics and music:Elvis Costello, Burnett J Henry

Key:

W ell I recall his parting words

Must I accept his fa te?

Or ta ke mys elf far fr om this pla ce

I thought I hea rd a black bell toll

A little bird did si ng

Man ha s no cho ice

When h e wants ev erything

We'll ri se abo ve the scar let tid e

T hat trickles down thr ough the moun tain

And sep arate s the widow fro m the bride

Man goes beyond his own decision

Gets caught up in the mechanism

Of swindlers who act like kings

And brokers who break everything

The dark of night was swiftly fading

Close to the dawn of the day

Why would I want him

Just to lose him again

We'll ri se abo ve the scar let tid e

T hat trickles down thr ough the moun tain

And sep arate s the widow fro m the bride
