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
