Story behind the song
This track was written at a request from a writer who was writing a chapter in a romantic novel, entitled Scarlet Shadows. The writer wanted to depict musically the sadness of the lovers in the novel being apart from each other for far too long. I read the chapter, then wrote the track.
Lyrics
SCARLET SHADOWS (Copyright 2008, by Al Johnson) Verse 1 In scarlet shadows (intro) In the midst of scarlet shadows, here we are, just us two. Our passion's complete, my lips are loving you. In the midst of scarlet shadows is a ancient rhapsody. Like the red sky at sunset, you and I were meant to be. Chorus In the midst of scarlet shadows, two hearts beat as one. Only time could separate us, which sadly, it's somehow done. Yet, the spender of scarlet shadows, shines with a special glow. We're so peaceful in our love and scarlet shadows. Verse 2 You are a blaze in my heart, in my soul, in my mind. You've touched in every way, I'll love you for a lifetime. In the midst of scarlet shadows is an ancient rhapsody. Like the red sky at sunset, you and I were meant to be. Back to Chorus Bridge Been apart far too long, But our love remained so strong. Tears have flowed just like a stream. I've missed you, you've missed me. Yet the splender of scarlet shadows, Shines with a special glow. We're so peaceful in our love, so peaceful in scarlets shadows. Back to Chorus - End
