Joni Mitchell - Shades of Scarlet Conquering слова песни
Out of the fire like catholic saintsComes scarlett and her deep complaintMimicking tenderness she seesIn sentimental moviesA celluloid rider comes to townCinematic lovers swayPlantations and sweeping ballroom gownsTake her breath awayOut in the wind in crinolinesChasing the ghosts of gable and flynnThrough stand-in boys and extra playersMagnolias hopeful in her auburn hairShe comes from a school of southern charmShe likes to have things her wayAny man in the world holding out his armWould soon be made to payFriends have told her not so proudNeighbors trying to sleep and yelling "not so loud"Lovers in anger "block of ice"Harder and harder just to be niceGiven in the night to dark dreamsFrom the dark things she feelsShe covers her eyes in the x-rated scenesRunning from the reelsBeauty and madness to be praisedcause it is not easy to be braveTo walk around in so much needTo carry the weight of all that greedDressed in stolen clothes she standsCast iron and frailWith her impossibly gentle handsAnd her blood-red fingernailsOut of the fire and still smolderingShe says "a woman must have everything"Shades of scarlett conqueringShe says "a woman must have everything"
