Once she came into my room, feathered hat and 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
And 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 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 an 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, never really wanted
All those days are frozen now and those scars are gone
Ah, but the song carries on so holy
Come let us drink before the second show
I want you to know there's no bridge between us
All those gates have opened now, and though the light has shone
Ah, but the song carries on so holy.
