Scarlet Ribbons Róisín Murphy

[Verse 1]
From the cradle to the floor
My flesh and my bones
Is that the way it's supposed to be
How the story goes
Ribbons and bones
Like a thorn on a rose
When the one man who gave it all to you
Has to let you go

[Chorus]
He found for me scarlet ribbons
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 here but
I'll always be your little girl

[Verse 2]
It's all borrowed time
And you always said I would regret it
If I grew up to fast
But my heart is strong and true
I'm doing fine
The things that you said
I won't forget them
I'll do as you ask
And always play fair for you
