The Scarlet Tide – Alison Krauss Lyrics – Cold Mountain
Lyrics: The Scarlet Tide – Alison Krauss
Album: Cold Mountain
Artist: Soundtracks
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
We’ll rise above the scarlet tide
That trickles down through the mountain
and separates the widow from the bride.
