Daniel Lanois
Red
[Verse 1]
I'm going to where the sun burns
And the heat stays in command
Come and lay by my side
Right here

To where the river turns to dust
And God is never rushed
Come and lay by my side
Right here

[Refrain]
Red, I love you and the world

[Verse 2]
It seemed to make sense
When Brother Santo said
One more run be enough
Going to be enough

Money for everything
Silver-toed boots and kerosene
Come and lay by my side
Right here

[Refrain]
Red, I love you and the world
[Verse 3]
Well the buzzing, the stink
And the choking
I can't stay no more
Come and lay by my side
Right here

[Refrain]
Red, I need you and the world

[Bridge]
When I see you behind the glass
I forget that I'm in the cage
They bring me to Sunday mass
But it never wiped the rage

[Refrain]
Red, I love you and the world

[Verse 4]
Seven months gone and seven years to go
Rage, I can't stay no more
Come and lay by my side
Right here

[Refrain/Outro]
Red, I love you and the world
Red, I need you and the world
