Scarlet

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

But d'you say when nothing's meant?
What d'you do when all is spent?
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

Faithless, faceless night
Drenched in empty light
Scarlet starlet's bright;
Vanity's delight

But d'you say when nothing's meant?
What d'you do when all is spent?
Cream of life you'll find in her;
First to come, she's first to serve
