Clare's Scarf Songtext
von John and Mary

Now she is living in the garret
From fear she never leaves her home
The neighbors sunning on their porches
The world enchanting down below
She knows them like they were a family
But it is she they never see

Ooh Clare wraps the scarf around her head
The one she loves, rubious red
Peers through the looking glass
Her heart sinks slowly

Clare spends time with books
Of fancy riddled rhymes
And she tries hard at learning new words
She′s making lists of every vow
She'll never keep


Clare wraps the scarf around her head
The one she loves, rubious red
Peers through the looking glass
Her heart sinks slowly

When sorting through her mind
She finds it hard to find
A memory that is all her own
Ooh you took all I ever wanted,
As through your own

Clare wakes up, morning starts with a parade
The flags were snapping in the sun
She saw old soldiers on display
Bowed and greyed but not afraid

Clare wraps the scarf around her head
The one she loves, rubious red
Peers through the looking glass
She walks on slowly
Ooh you took all I ever wanted
As through your own
