Murphy, Peter - The Scarlet Thing In You Lyrics






From the world to the dreaming fields of light
Yeah from the soaking mud
Gonna fly up to the sky
To the scarlet thing in you
On a long lost ocean wave of light
Submerged and unafraid

I saw you
You were one
I saw you
You were one

No way back to recall the way
Cause I threw out all the why's
Spinning with the spider in the cave
Found the scarlet thing in you
Where the birds can't reach
No words can teach
Spinning in the cave
For the scarlet thing in you

I saw you, you saw me

I saw you
You were the one
I saw you
You were one

Spinning in the cave
For the scarlet thing in you

    Will always remind me of my best friend, Jim. The year as 1995. I had just returned to Chicago after having spent 3 years in Miami due to a job reloc. I was glad to be back. Since I was in between jobs and looking Jim let me stay that summer of '95 at his apt in Lakeview. We had a blast. It turns out my car got all wrecked up in Miami and I had just bought a brand new Honda here in Second City. Red I remember. So one summer night, Jim and my gf at the time were out driving around here in the Windy City then the radio played this song. Jim said "wait let me hear this song. I love it". I haven't seen Jim in a while but this song will always remind me of him, 22 years later.

    J.... S....

    From the world to the dreaming fields of light
    Yeah from the soaking mud
    Gonna fly up to the sky
    To the scarlet thing in you
    On a long lost ocean wave of light
    Submerged and unafraid

    I saw you
    You were one
    I saw you
    You were one

    No way back to recall the way
    Cause I threw out all the why's
    Spinning with the spider in the cave
    Found the scarlet thing in you
    Where the birds can't reach
    No words can teach
    Spinning in the cave
    For the scarlet thing in you

    I saw you, you saw me

    I saw you
    You were one
    I saw you
    You were one

    Spinning in the cave
    For the scarlet thing in you

    M.... M....

    On the red wings I will sail at night to the scarlet thing in you

  21. L.... B....

    You were never unafraid. And if you did really see me, you would trust me.

  22. A.... W....

    I know I have!! 😀😀😀💖💖💖

  23. S.... V....

    i've been listening to peter murphy--and this song--for thirty years...and i think i'm just now falling in love with it.

    S.... V....

    Stephen Velez this song has only existed for 22 years lol

  24. C.... M....

    EYE SEE YOU ALL ; We are ONE , the healing energy of our own true nature of LOVE and miracles in our own eternal spirit connects us all at our heart chakras , that heart part is ALL that LOVE is ; Courage , freedom , TRUTH , Peace, harmony and joy , grace , gratitude , creativity and all higher self attributes of understanding, forgiveness and compassion ; sharing the LOVE and miracle energy of our own true nature is the reason for life

    C.... M....

    It's just a song. A man singing. With music. Get over yourself.

  25. I.... I....

    Start of song is about creation of the universe and man as he rose from the creation of mud as seen from the eyes of the devil as he rose up on the red wings that he sails on at night.

    The religious would call this song "Sympathy for the devil." But just a reminder..... This is just a story..

    Everything is all right. All things are as they are supposed to be.

    I.... I....

    i always thought that the scarlet thing was the heart, but oh! im a romantic.

    I.... I....

    I like his other song and has a better story line. DRAG NET DRAG. A police officer arrives to a murder scene where a man and woman are found dead at a lake in a whirlpool near a dock and as citizens are pushed back he notices the mans and womans smile on their faces and the evidence is the surprise down below.

    I.... I....

    Inachu Ikimasho what made you come to this conclusion?

  26. D.... L....

    I saw you too Peter.....and heard you and was forever changed 💜

    D.... L....
