One Scarlet MorningI want to lay me downUpon your bed I want to paint my skin Bright blood red As the curtains sway To a southbound wind We’ll be moving on When I hang my head Down on your chest I’m going to spend my time Till it’s all been spent When we feel the old Blue hands of death We’ll sing a living song Darling, you don’t have to go it alone I’m right here I’m not letting go If you’re carrying a heavy load Just let it fall I’m going to nail my hands On Calvary Hill Till my bones are set And my body’s still And I’ll let it bleed Till it’s all been spilled Upon the leaving stone When I see you on That starless shore I’m gonna say your name Till I speak no more Gonna hear your voice One scarlet morning Love, I’m coming home Darling, you don’t have to go it alone I’m right here I’m not letting go If you’re carrying a heavy load Just let it fall |
