1. Scarlet hovering in my head,

pretty
and red, pretty and red.

Flowers dying in their bed, oh, yeah !
C F
Why is everyone crying ?
G
Don't you know, you can see,
G7
shining
down on you and me, yeah !
C Bb
And the ball of fire in the
sky, yeah,
F C G
keeps
watching over you and I, way up high.
C Bb
And the ball of fire in the
sky, come on,
F C G
keeps
watching over you and I, way up high.
C F
2. And now the towers are
falling,
G - F C
tumbling
down, tumbling down.

Oh, can't you hear the angels calling ? Oh, yeah, listen !

Shining through eternity,
G7
as it
was, so it shall be, yeah !
