Cold Mountain movie - The Scarlet Tide lyrics

rate me

Song 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>
