Scarlet - All About Eve

Dress me in scarlet

Ribbons and bows so everyone knows

I’m hiding a face

That hasn’t the grace to go free

Dress me in shadows

Sad April skies have opened my eyes

To the lie that I live

And given the river away

I’ll change these clothes if I want to, and I do

I think that I’ve found out

What no-one's about to tell me

I think that I’ve found out

I don’t wear scarlet well

Waiting before me

Poets and painters may say;

«When will you stumble our way

Kick off your red shoes and fly now»

I’ll die for their words if I want to, and I do

Always before me

Poets and sages may say;

«We've been lamenting your fall

And carving it all into stone here

And skimming them into the river, just for you…»

I think that I’ve found out

What no-one's about to tell me

I think that I’ve found out

The place where angels fell from…

I think that I’ve found out

I don’t wear scarlet well
