Scarlet Nights Lyrics - Prefab Sprout

This is where your sleepless eyes will close 

This is where the weary find repose 

This is where a kinder bugle blows 

This is where you'll wake 

To find the river Jordan flows 

Scarlet nights waiting sleep is overdue 

Scarlet nights ending here on in they're blue 

Yes, I know we're not saying goodbye 

Yes, I know that farewell don't apply 

Yet I know no matter how I try 

Yes, I know and you should know 

That all the same I'll cry 

Scarlet nights waiting sleep is overdue 

Scarlet nights ending here on in they're blue 

Blue as skies and blue as heavens 

Watching over Galilee and Rome 

Blue as water, Jordan's waters 

Blue as dawn and dawn will take you home 

Scarlet nights waiting sleep is overdue 

Scarlet nights ending here on in they're blue 

Blue as skies and blue as heavens 

Watching over you 

Blue as water, Jordan's waters 

Washing over you
