Red Bird Morning

Oh, you made me an actress on your screen

See, I'm closing in on Aberdeen

But the snow's all gone and the grass is green

Unlike it was before

When I left you late at night for the northern roads

The old abandoned winter clothes

Mike was in the back and you swore he'd know

Just how to get us out

And I thought it was a lover's prayer

I said for you when I was there

But the sacred fire burned my hair

Before it hit the ground

It's a red bird morning in Aberdeen

Oh, it's a red bird morning

The saddest sight I've ever seen

See me smoking on a cigarette

Same kind that took our nana's breath

It's the only flame that I have left

Will it be the death of me?

If you see two red birds in the dew

It's our loved ones there to be with you

It's the only way you'd love me too

So I'll burn another down

It's a red bird morning in Aberdeen

Oh, it's a red bird morning

The saddest sight I've ever seen
