The Scarlet Thing In You

Peter Murphy · Wild Birds 1985-1995: B.O. Beggars Banquet Years [2000]

From the world to the dreaming fields of light, yeah from the soaking mud

Gonna fly up to the sky to the scarlet thing in you

On the red wings I will sail at night to the scarlet thing in you

On a long lost ocean wave of light, submerged and unafraid



I saw you, you were one

I saw you, you were one

I saw you, you were one

I saw you, you were one



No way back to recall the way, 'cause I threw out all the why's

Spinning with the spider in the cave, found the scarlet thing in you

Where the birds can't reach, no words can teach

Spinning in the cave for the scarlet thing in you



I saw you

You saw me



I saw you, you were one

I saw you, you were one

I saw you, you were one

I saw you, you were one



Everything's all right

Everything's all right

Everything's all right

Everything's all right



Spinning in the cave for the scarlet thing in you

Spinning in the cave for the scarlet thing in you

Spinning in the cave for the scarlet thing in you

Spinning in the cave for the scarlet thing in you
