Lyrics
Red
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.
I'm going to where the Sun burns
And the heat stays in command
Come and lay by my side
Right here
To where the river turns to dust
And God is never rushed
Come and lay by my side
Right here
Red, I love you and the world
It seemed to make sense
When Brother Santo said
One more run be enough
Going to be enough
Money for everything
Silver-toed boots and kerosene
Come and lay by my side
Right here
Red, I love you and the world
Well the buzzing, the stink
And the choking
I can't stay no more
Come and lay by my side
Right here
Red, I need you and the world
When I see you behind the glass
I forget that I'm in the cage
They bring me to Sunday mass
But it never wiped the rage
Red, I love you and the world
Seven months gone and seven years to go
Red, I can't stay no more
Come and lay by my side
Right here
Red, I love you and the world
Red, I need you and the world
