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 Leola bound in winter clothes Mike was in the back and he 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 it 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 You see me smoking on this 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
