Lyrics:
I peeked in to say goodnight
And I heard my child in prayer
And for me some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair
All the stores were closed and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare
In our town, no scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking
I peeped in and on her pillow
On her pillow lying there
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
If I live to be a 100
I will never know from where
Came those ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

Lyrics:
It seems years since you held the baby
While I wrecked the bedroom
You said it was dangerous after Sunday
And I knew you loved me
He thinks I just became famous
And thats what messed me up
But hes wrong, how could I possibly know what I want
When I was only 21?
And theres millions of people
To offer advice and say how I should be
But theyre twisted and they will never be
Any influence on me, but you will always be
You will always be
If I treated you mean
I really didnt mean to
But you know how it is
And how a pregnancy can change you
I see plenty of clothes that I like
But I wont go anywhere nice for a while
All I want to do is just sit here
And write it all down and rest for a while
I cant bear to be in another city
One where you are not
I would return to nothing without you
If Im your girlfriend or not
Maybe I was mean
But I really dont think so
You asked if Im scared
And I said so
Everyone can see whats going on
They laugh cause they know theyre untouchable
Not because what I said was wrong
Whatever it may bring
I will live by my own policies
I will sleep with a clear conscience
I will sleep in peace
Maybe it sounds mean
But I really dont think so
You asked for the truth
And I told you
Through their own words
They will be exposed
And they got a severe case of
The Emperors new clothes
The Emperors new clothes
Emperors new clothes
The Emperors new clothes")

Lyrics:
I am stretched on your grave
And will lie there forever
If your hands were in mine
Id be sure wed not sever
My apple tree, my brightness
Its time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And am worn by the weather
When my family thinks
That Im safe in my bed
From night until morning
I am stretched at your head
Calling out to the earth
With tears hot and wild
My grief for the girl
That I loved as a child
Do you remember
The night we were lost?
In the shade of the blackthorn
And the chill of cold frost
Thanks be to Jesus
We did what was right
And your maiden head still
Is your pillar of light
The priests and the friars
Approach me in dread
Because I still love you
My love, and youre dead
I still will be your shelter
Through rain and through storm
And with you in a cold grave
I cannot sleep warm
So Im stretched on your grave
And will lie there forever
If your hands were in mine
Id be sure wed not sever
My apple tree, my brightness
Its time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And am worn by the weather")
