Red & Blazing

I must’ve been four when you touched my arm
Skies were red and blazing
I heard a moan in the elms above
And I knew that day was ending
I knew you’d seen your happiest day
When the next morn 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 to 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 in the red skies blazing
Touch my arm and feel my burning
For the day you left for the elms above
To meet those birds a-singin'
