Roisin Murphy Scarlet Ribbon Lyrics

From a cradle to a throne
My flesh and my bones
Is that the way it's supposed to be
How the story goes

Ribbons and bows
Like a thorn on a rose
When the one man who
Gave it all to you
Has to let you go

He found for me scarlet ribbons
Those 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 above
I'll always be your little girl

It's all borrowed time
And you've always said I would regret it
If I grew up too 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

You found for me scarlet ribbons
Those 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 above
I'll always be your little girl

There's a part of you in every part of me
(Should know better)
Maybe you should know I won't let that go
Long as I can cry on your shoulder
Won't be growing up, just older
You have got to let me go

You found for me scarlet ribbons
Those 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 above
I'll always be your little girl

I'll always be, always be your little girl
Always be, always be your little girl
Always be, always be your little girl
Always be your little girl

You've got to let it go-o
You've got to let it go

You've got to let it go-o
You've got to let it go

You've got to let it go-o
You've got to let it go
