Red, Red

lyrics

Red, Red

Once there was a ghost livin' deep within my heart
Came out at night, danced with me in the dark

Chorus:
Red, red, pale, white
Red, red, pale, white lips

Strode into the orchard, now was in full bloom
Just like two carefree, lovers do
Oh, Mary, dear Mary, I drink to you
Here I can taste your fragrance, and it goes down smooth

Bridge:
Oh meet, by the yonder tree
Oh sing, we used to sing
Now sway in the breeze
Oh, oh, oh, ooooh

Now you'll be singin' softly when the workers arise
And all of the sowers gonna find me in the light
They gonna dig a hole, dig it deep and wide
To lay my achin' skin down by your side

"If there are things bigger than sex and laughs, then we damn well better sing about it. If there is a God in heaven even singing against him makes more sense than the hair metal with all its soft porn videos...Burr’s albums have the heaviness of a novel. You don’t read Faulkner for entertainment. Some authors are too full of gravity. You don’t read them at the beach. You read them at the grave." ... more
