Krauss, Alison - The Scarlet Tide Lyrics






Well 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 every thing

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

Krauss, Alison The Scarlet Tide Comments
  1. p.... 7....

    This woman has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. When I go to heaven, this is the voice I want to hear.

  2. m.... ....

    Hearing this song after watching that movie just breaks open the dam.

  3. Z.... P....

    Oh god, I love this song! I even like the cello part, it’s totally f***ing gorgeous.

  4. D.... ....

    Alison never lip synchs - she's that good. Go watch her other videos like her singing "Ghost in this house" or any other really

  5. Z.... ....

    Hauntingly beautiful. It invokes the pain of mans' bad decisions that draw them into war and the heartache of the women left behind to suffer his fate. Love and loss. Inman made it all the way back to his woman only to be killed by a skip tracer.
