An intimate, lovely, ukulele version of the song co-penned by EC and T-Bone Burnett.Well I recall his parting words Must I accept his fate? Or take myself far from this place I thought I heard a black bell toll A little bird did sing Man has no choice When he wants everything
Chorus: We`ll rise above the scarlet tide That trickles down through the mountain And separatesthe widow from the bride
Man goes beyond his own decision Gets caught up in the mechanism Of swindlers who act like kings And brokers who break everything The dark of night was swiftly fading Close to the dawn of the day Why would I want him Just to lose him again
This version is the closing track on his "Delivery man " cd with harmonies from Emmylou harris..that whole album is fantastic!
