Lyrics
Redwings
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is where we fall from the trees
This is where the sky covers up
Daft killers of joy, you made a man out of me
And this is where the glass leaves the lens
Splintering a chemistry of friends
I'll treasure you always
You know I love you
And this is where we wake in the ditch
This is where our bodies sing no more
Fallen apples on the floor, pecked at by redwings
So pour another whisky out for me
It'll be the last bottle we share
As I drift into nowhere
Know that I loved you
But love was not enough to hold my grip
Can't you just feel my fingers slip
Into those oceans in the sky where people swim
Oceans in the sky calling me in
Oceans in the sky I tell myself
Though I'm not kidding anybody else
They know I'm leaving
They know that I'm leaving this behind
So I'm leaving my best friend
Just for the hell of it
Just for the sake of it
But how much I loved you
