The Scarlet Tide Lyrics

Lyric discussion by thisismyheart 

Cover art for The Scarlet Tide lyrics by Alison Krauss

Folk song. Not sure if its something she got from Appalachia, or just wrote it for the movie "Cold Mountain". Either way its pretty straight forward and was about wives/girlfriends/mothers who's sons/fathers/husbands went off to war and the fear of them never coming home, and having to come to grips with that. Really beautiful song, feels old old old, so if she made it for the move she is a genius.
