Red in the Morning

Let it ride, let it ride, let it roll off your mind

Don't say a single world, get back inside

Let me drive, let me drive, disappear in the night

Like I was a ghost in your dreams



And it was all completely wrong, Virginia

You were much too much for me

I was a boy on the lawn, with his eyes to the sky

You were Garbo, smoke, and deceit

And it was Saturday, September, and fire

It was a backdrop set in your smile

It was all I could want in the sway of the song

I was haunted for so many years



Let it ride, let it ride, let it roll off your mind

Don't say a single world, get back inside

Let me drive, let me drive, disappear in the night

Like I was a ghost in your dreams

Say goodbye, say goodbye, give a kiss and a sigh

Never, never, never bring me back to your mind

Let me slide, let me slide, roll off your mind

Like I was a movie you'd seen



And it was all just a crime, Virginia, let your fire be mercy to me

I was a boy in your arms, safe in your arms

And you swore like a promise to me

That I would never, never, never leave your heart

No I would never, never, never leave your heart

But where are you now, I can still feel you now

And I hear all your songs in the breeze
