Joni Mitchell - Shades Of Scarlet Conquering Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Out of the fire like catholic saints
  • Comes scarlett and her deep complaint
  • Mimicking tenderness she sees
  • In sentimental movies
  • A celluloid rider comes to town
  • Cinematic lovers sway
  • Plantations and sweeping ballroom gowns
  • Take her breath away
  • Out in the wind in crinolines
  • Chasing the ghosts of gable and flynn
  • Through stand-in boys and extra players
  • Magnolias hopeful in her auburn hair
  • She comes from a school of southern charm
  • She likes to have things her way
  • Any man in the world holding out his arm
  • Would soon be made to pay
  • Friends have told her not so proud
  • Neighbors trying to sleep and yelling not so loud
  • Lovers in anger block of ice
  • Harder and harder just to be nice
  • Given in the night to dark dreams
  • From the dark things she feels
  • She covers her eyes in the x-rated scenes
  • Running from the reels
  • Beauty and madness to be praised
  • cause it is not easy to be brave
  • To walk around in so much need
  • To carry the weight of all that greed
  • Dressed in stolen clothes she stands
  • Cast iron and frail
  • With her impossibly gentle hands
  • And her blood-red fingernails
  • Out of the fire and still smoldering
  • She says a woman must have everything
  • Shades of scarlett conquering
  • She says a woman must have everything
