Scarlet Ribbon - Róisín Murphy

Lyrics
words to study

From the cradle to the throne

My flesh and my bones

Is that the way it's supposed to be

How the story goes?

Ribbons and bows

Like a thorn on a rose

When the one man who gave it all to you

Has to let you go

He found for me scarlet ribbons

Those scarlet ribbons for my hair

What becomes of a father's love

When another has his daughter's love?

Don't you know they'll never be above?

I'll always be your little girl

It's all borrowed time

And you always said I would regret it

If I grew up too fast

But my heart is strong and true

I'm doing fine

The things that you said, I won't forget them
