Red Wing

In the summer sun 1981
 The day was long 'till I heard the song whistle like the wind
 I was standing there, dust was flying through the air
 Like days before when we believed in things we couldn't see
 Oh my Red Wing, take me softly
 To my home, now, to my family
 Oh my Red Wing, hold me closely
 Take me under the brightest sun
 When the day is done and another night has come
 I'll rest my weary bones and pray the bird I love hasn't flown away
 And I will call again up to my kindest friend
 The ground below will be set free and with my love I'll be
 Oh my Red Wing, take me softly
 To my home, now, to my family
 Oh my Red Wing, hold me closely
 Take me under the brightest sun
 Money she has none, she was never one
 By metal wings or death machines or anything between
 When my time has come, and all my days are done
 If heaven waits, we'll breach the gates
 On her wings we'll be one
 Oh my Red Wing, take me softly
 To my home, now, to my family
 Oh my Red Wing, hold me closely
 Take me under the brightest sun
 Oh my Red Wing, take me softly
 To my home, now, to my family
 Oh my Red Wing, hold me closely
 Take me under the setting sun
