Verse 1

Once she came in-to my room, feathered hat, and all,

Wearing a warm wool shawl wrapped a-round her should-ers. 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 scar-let

Verse 2

How was I to wonder why, or even question this? Underneath her kiss,

I was so un-guard-ed . Every bottle's empty now, and all those dreams are gone,

Ah, but the song goes on so ho-ly

Verse 3

She was so much younger then, wild like the wind, a gypsy with a grin,

From an old far away coun-try, but deep beneath her curls,

Be-neath 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 want-ed. All those days are frozen now, and all those scars

are gone, ah, but the song carries on so ho-ly

Verse 4

Come let us drink again, be-fore the second show,

I want you so to know ,there's no bridge be-tween us,

All those gates have opened now, and through the light has shone,

ah, but the song carries on so ho-ly
