Lyrics

Scarlet Angel
(© 1989, Rick Moody)

G A7 D riff
I can’t hope to understand you
G B7 D
Ageless beauty ever find
G B7 D riff
(But) autumn breathes a scarlet angel
G A7 D
On the leaves and in your mind

Once I held a soothing heartbeat
Like a bird a gentle thing
But she flew just like a swallow
Through the air on silver wings

And the winter came upon us
Like a blanket made of snow
Healing wounds in tortured valleys
Coverin time we could not know

But the spring sang out her splendour
And the summer’s heat is gone
And you know I’ll always love you
Like a bluebird like a song

Repeat Verse 1
