Red Wing Blue Wing

It was a quiet night, night by my window A night in a small town, that I barely know And I stay up late, watching the sin go From my head, down to my toes And I feel the wind and it is burning Burning like shadow and it's not alright And I go to work where I am earning All of the simple things in life I'm full of charm and I'm full of whiskey And I'm full of shit, most of the time When I go home, will you go with me And will you hold me up when you say goodbye You can have my breath and you can have my darkness And you can have my blood if it gets you high Oh but I won't be fooled, by your short dress I won't give in, yeah I will not die When the lights come on, it's time to go home Took a different way, than the one you know I didn't like the verse, didn't like the chorus Didn't like the song, but now I do I didn't sing the words, like the one before it I didn't think of me, I didn't think of you But it brings us in, yeah it pulls us under Where the water's cold and the fish don't bite And the daylight blurs, and it feels like sleeping And you say your prayers, and you say goodnight
