The Scarlet Tide Lyrics by Alison Krauss and Union Sta
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Will, I recall his parting words
Must I accept his fate
Or take myself far from this place
I thought I heard a black bell toll
A little bird did sing
Man has no choice
When he wants every thing

We'll rise above the scarlet tide
That trickles down through the mountain
And separates the widow from the bride

Man goes beyond his own decision
Gets caught up in the mechanism
Of swindlers who act like kings
And brokers who break everything
The dark of night was swiftly fading
Close to the dawn of day
Why would I want him just to lose him again

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