lyrics

Redhead, I remember when you slept here and kept me alive,
With our hands held and our eyes closed,
Runny nose; the iciest night

You’re never be old, the iciest night,
You kept out the cold, holding me tight, holding me tight.

Wake up, it is morning, they are talking and telling me why
Why you left us, ‘cos you felt none,
Though you looked for some; they say you tried

They say you tried but you were unwell,
Always a fight until down you fell, down you fell

You fell ‘cos you were deaf to them
They called at your house but you were never in
Didn’t you hear them shouting loud?
Your red hair ablaze as you threw yourself down.
Well, tell me, can you hear this song?
I want to talk even though you are gone.

Redhead, I’ve been so scared that the talking and shouting will stop;
That I’ll freeze here and fall dumb there
That I won’t speak and then I’ll go ‘pop’

Was that your way? Your head full of stuff?
Because nobody came to open you up, open you up

My lover made a little hole
Under my heart so the past can flow
And I told things I never tell
And I have a feeling that all will be well
