Scarlet Lies

(الألبوم: Applefork - 2013)

"Fine!" she said, "I'm going away"
"You'd better pack those bags" was all I could say
By the time I'd changed my mind
She was a figment, a dream
As sad as it seems, so gone

Lies! Lies!

So with an emptiness inscribed
You must avert those sorrow eyes
For not a willow wept until the night you left
And a penultimate kiss don't taste as fervent as this, my love

Beneath a sun that shines so bright
Or as we're waltzing through the night
On top of cobblestones, those silent tones
Could paint a picture of you in the evening dew, alone

Lies! Lies!

And I was wrong to dance so slow
But I needed time to realize just where to go

In the search to find the flower for you
I came across a poet or two
Scarlet lies dripped from their eyes
So take it from me, how bad could it be, my love?
I said take it from me, how bad could it be, my love?
