25 Feb 04 - 07:41 PM (#1123913) Subject: Lyr Add: THE SCARLET TIDE (Alison Krauss) From: GUEST,Eugene Judge no cookie You have now! From here: http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/coldmountain/thescarlettide.htm THE SCARLET TIDE (Written by T-Bone Burnett and Elvis Costello) As recorded by Allison Krauss When 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 That trickles down through the mountain And separates the widow from 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 day Why would I want him just to lose him again We'll rise above the scarlet tide That trickles down through the mountain And separates the widow from the bride |

I am not too sure the words Blad (or black) bell toll. Or of the phrase referring to 'swindled lives' Well I recall his parting words Must I accept his fate, Or take myself far from this place. I thought I heard a blad bell toll, A little bird did sing, Man has no choice when he wants everything We'll rise above the scarlet tide That trickles down through the mountain And separates the widow from the bride Man goes beyond his own decision, Gets caught up in the mechansim Of swindled lives who act like kings, And brokers who break everything The Dark of night was swiftly fading Close to the dawn of day Why would I want him, just to loose him again. We'll rise above the scarlet tide That trickles down through the mountain And separates the widow from the bride We'll rise above the scarlet tide That trickles down through the mountain And separates the widow from the bride |

I hadn't realised she was rewriting Elvis Costello! Thsnks for info. Kitty |
