Red & Blazing

Abigail Washburn


I must've been fooled when you touched my heart 
Skies were red and blazing 
I heard a moan in the elms above 
And I knew the day was ending 

I knew you'd seen your happiest day 
When a ' the birds were singing 
We felt the same 
Cold from the earth 

It took the moon to hold the tide 
And set our hearts a spinning 
You'd wait for dark 
Never come again 

I'll turn my back to the calling sun 
If you'll rise and meet me 
I'll walk the road I took from you 
Oh stay a while and the red sky is blazing 

Touch my heart and feel my burning 
For the day you left 
For the arms above 

To me those birds are singing
