red - Daniel Lanois

I'm going to where the sun burns
And the heat stays in command
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay right here
To where the river turns to dust
and God is never rushed
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay here
Red I need you and the world
Ah the buzzing, the stink, and the smell
Ah they're choking me
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay right here
You'll be dressed in a cloud
I'll be singing out my tune real loud
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay right here
Red I love you and the world
Yes it seemed to make sense when
Brother Santo said one more run be enough
Gonna be enough, be enough
Money for everything, silver-toed boots and gasoline
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay right here
Red I worry about you and the world
When I see you behind the glass
I forget that I'm in the cage
They bring me to Sunday mass
But it never wipes the rage
Red I love you and the world
Seven months gone and seven years to go
Red I can't stay no more
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay here
Red I need you in the world
Red I love you and the world
