Once she came into my room, feathered hat an' all
   Wearing a warm wool shawl wrapped around her shoulders
   Two eyes like lights, milky marble whites looking up at me
   Looking for a way, Moons in an endless day
   All I knew was with her then, no couldn't see the time
   As we drank down the wine to the last Sweet Scarlet
   How was I to wonder why or even question this
   Underneath her her kiss I was so unguarded
   Every bottle's empty now and all those dreams are gone
   Ah, but the song carries on...so holy
   She was so much younger then, wild like the wind
   A gypsy with a grin from and old far away country
   but deep beneath her curls,
   Beneath this misty pearl, there was more to see
   She could move mountains in the dark as silent as a knife
   She cut loose a life that she never no never really wanted
   All those days are frozen now and all those scars are gone
   Ah, but the song carries on...so holy
   Come let us drink again, before the second show
   I want you so to know there's no bridge between us
   All those gates have opened now, and through the light has shone
   Ah, but the song carries on...so holy
