Trail Of Scarlet

(альбом: Masque - 1992)

It was the word from Milo, a word to the wise
That set me straight about your cheating and your lies
Set down between us like the bottle that we shared
He had to tell me because no one else dared
I'm so disappointed
I'm so very, very let down

And you can have the bed and the stains on the sheets
I'll sleep on the floor, I can't bear your deceit
You gave yourself away for the sake of a thrill
For the price of my conceit, you were a steal
I'm so devastated
I'm so very, very let down

You leave a trail of scarlet like footsteps in the snow
You leave a trail of scarlet everywhere you go
And I'm the last to know

And isn't it just like you to shake the faith in me?
I gave you all I have to give but I couldn't give you all you need
And something that had died was all we had to lose
And the worst thing I ever did to you was ask you to choose
I'm so very lonely
I'm so very, very let down

You leave a trail of scarlet like footsteps in the snow
You leave a trail of scarlet everywhere you go and I'm
The last to know

And didn't we once have it all? Held it in our hands
But it's too easy to deceive a trust that makes no demands

You leave a trail of scarlet like footsteps in the snow
You leave a trail of scarlet everywhere you go and I'm the last to know
