Vermillion

Mercury Rev · The Secret Migration [2005]

An unseen force behind the turning leaves

Drives them all vermillion and green

You never gave up on me somehow

I don't know why I haven't turned by now



Oh I know love sounds impossible...

But some words are just so hard to say

And there's times you feel unlockable...

An all you ever want...

Is someone to try...to open up and find a way in



Don't ever say you were wrong for me

You were always strong enough for three

I never let you in my world somehow...

I'm asking you to please, allow me now



Truer skies beyond the swirling clouds

The other birds are off and flying south

We'll have to make our own way there somehow...

I'm asking you to please, trust me now
