lyrics

Red Gold Avenue

Here’s the darkest corner of your cell
And here’s a tiny torch to lead you straight to hell
Lost upon the path that you did take
The rules you’re going to write, the ones you’re going to bend then break

On her red gold avenue
Almost afraid to leave
When you fell, your mother came
And your screams travelled on, off through the trees
Leaving you safe in her arms
Leaving you safe in her arms
No harm done

There’s never a reason in the end
There’s only what you’ve dreamt, there’s only what you’ve said
There is no exit here my friend
There’s only what you’ve done, there’s only what you meant
Which was?

On her red gold avenue
Almost afraid to breathe
I’ve grown tired of the sun now
And winter is the next place I’ll see
As you lay back down on me
Looking up through the trees
Looking up through the trees

What have I dreamt?
What have I said?
What have I done?
What have I meant?
