My Scarlet Ibis Lyrics

There's a Carnival party on the avenue

There's people coming from all around

And through the mist of the crowd, I spotted what could only be found

On a river, gliding away to peace

And here she comes and there she goes

Covered in glitter, red and gold

And alone she danced with nobody at home

Cause they're all here to see her, does she even know?

Dancing, dancing my scarlet ibis

Dancing, dancing my scarlet ibis

Dancing, dancing my scarlet ibis

I wanna take you home

The light of the moon grazed delicately

On your wings as you fluttered to the groove

Of the Soca music playing, New York is great for livin'

But it'll never, be as beautiful as home

Watching you on the stage

You gracefully spread your wings

You spun around and now you're gone

I had a pleasure watching you

Do the way that you do

Shame on me for thinking, that we can be one

A free spirit like yourself

It's better I watch like the rest

And you my darlin', keep on keeping on

Dancing, dancing my scarlet ibis

Dancing, dancing my scarlet ibis

Dancing, dancing my scarlet ibis

Fly along, fly along

And my darling, how does it feel?

To fly above the rest of us all

The spotlight's on you babe, I'd give up everything

Even if, you didn't recognize me at all

To see you dancing my scarlet ibis

Fly along, fly along

Dancing, dancing my scarlet ibis

Dancing, dancing my scarlet ibis

Dancing, dancing my scarlet ibis

Fly along, fly along

Fly along, fly along

Fly along, fly along
