lyrics

when hell gets bitter cold I'll just build myself a lover
but I'll need another soul to light the fire
so I'll go searching with the Devil in the world up above
and if I get just one I think I'll be alright
but him, he likes to pack 'em in tight
'cause he doesn't like bein' lonely
he wants the whole world around
temptation is just circumstance
go ask him for yourself he's in the scarlet hills
where the sun goes down

CHORUS:
in the scarlet hills
where the sun goes down
and in the morning sky bubbles up from beneath the ground
that's where I'm goin'
where time starts flowin'
in the scarlet hills
where the sun goes down

I've got a mess of little wishes
and a field full of crickets
but the sky is too bright for the stars
so I'll write out my desires in the Hollywood style
letters on the bluff
a message for the cars
and maybe one will wind up in my old home town
and tell them all I'd love to see them
but I've gotta make my way
to the scarlet hills
where the sun goes down

CHORUS

when your face
is lined with corduroy
and looking dearer than our own blue sky
and you still have bits of sleep around your eyes
there's your chance
to be the cherry of my heartache
there's your chance to be the shaper of my clouds
and if you want I could go purple over you
before the light can make it through
the scarlet hills
where the sun goes down
