Cold Mountain movie - The Scarlet Tide lyrics
rate meSong by Alison Krauss<br /><br>
Well I recall his parting words<br>
Must I accept his fate<br>
Or take myself far from this place<br>
I thought I heard a black bell toll<br>
A little bird did sing<br>
Man has no choice<br>
When he wants every thing<br>
<br>
We'll rise above the scarlet tide<br>
That trickles down through the mountain<br>
And separates the widow from the bride<br>
<br>
Man goes beyond his own decision<br>
Gets caught up in the mechanism<br>
Of swindlers who act like kings<br>
And brokers who break everything<br>
The dark of night was swiftly fading<br>
Close to the dawn of day<br>
Why would I want him just to lose him again<br>
<br>
We'll rise above the scarlet tide<br>
That trickles down through the mountain<br>
And separates the widow from the bride<br>
<br>
<br>
