Scarlet

(Anderson / Berenyi)

Nothing can eclipse
Tender fingertips
Youthful girlish hips
Crimson pouting lips

But what d’you say when nothing’s meant
What d’you do when all is spent

Faithless faceless night
Drenched in empty light
Scarlet starlet’s bright
Vanity’s delight

Cream of life you’ll find in her
First to come she’s first to serve

Turned away you’re out of luck
Spurned again
No one to fall in love
