Scarlet

Lush

(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
