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
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
The lyrics SWEET SCARLET of CAT STEVENS is also present in the album Catch bull at four (1972)
Cat Stevens, pseudonimo di Steven Demetre Georgiou, è un cantautore britannico nato a Londra il 21 luglio 1948. Attivo dal fine degli anni '60 fino al 1978, ha poi abbracciato l'Islam e cambiato nome in Yusuf Islam, continuando la sua carriera musicale con un approccio più spirituale. Stevens è noto per le sue melodie folk-rock malinconiche e introspettive, spesso accompagnate da testi poetici che esplorano temi di amore, perdita, fede e spiritualità. Tra i suoi brani più celebri figurano "Wild World", "Father and Son" e "Peace Train". L'album "Tea for the Tillerman" (1970) è considerato un classico del folk-rock britannico. Dopo il suo periodo di conversione, Yusuf Islam ha continuato a pubblicare musica con testi più religiosi, ma ha sempre mantenuto una sensibilità musicale raffinata e poetica.
