JOAN BAEZ lyrics : "scarlet tide"

Well 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 everything







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 the day

Why would I want him


Just to lose him again
