Alison Krauss & Union Station
The Scarlet Tide [From Cold Mountain]
Well I recall his parting wordsMust I accept his fateOr take myself far from this placeI thought I heard a black bell tollA little bird did singMan has no choiceWhen he wants every thingWe'll rise above the scarlet tideThat trickles down through the mountainAnd separates the widow from the brideMan goes beyond his own decisionGets caught up in the mechanismOf swindlers who act like kingsAnd brokers who break everythingThe dark of night was swiftly fadingClose to the dawn of dayWhy would I want him just to lose him againWe'll rise above the scarlet tideThat trickles down through the mountainAnd separates the widow from the bride
