talis kimberley - scarlet and green lyrics
[verse 1:]
she’s a good boat, and honest – demeter’s her name
she sits low in the water when laden
and she hasn’t the speed of your company car
but she rocks me to sleep every night;
[verse 2:]
she’s quiet, and i like that; she’s sp-cious for one
though i’ve room for a guest if i fancy
ah she’s painted up pretty, like all of her kind
and her pictures are fairytale-bright
[chorus:]
city to city and all that lies between
you sit indoors with your fl!ckering screens
and i’ll p-ss you by and you won’t know i’ve been
on my painted river-queen
with her blue and her gold, and her scarlet
and green
[verse 3:]
oh the moon on the water’s a beautiful sight
and the sky’s just as dark as it should be
you can’t see the stars when you’re close to the town
but out here i’ve the night to myself
[verse 4:]
strawberry wine in a cup of blue gl-ss
i raise a quiet toast to the evening
if we kissed when we met, do your best to forget;
just as soon as i get here, i’m leaving, mmm…
[chorus:]
city to city and all that lies between
oh, you sit indoors with your fl!ckering screens
and i’ll p-ss you by and you won’t know i’ve been
on my painted river-queen
with her blue and her gold, and her scarlet
her blue and her gold, and her scarlet
and green
if we kissed when we met, do your best to forget;
just as soon as i get here, i’m leaving…
