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
