Lyrics Daniel Lanois

Daniel Lanois

Red

I'm going to where the sun burns

And the heat stays in command

Come and lay by my side

Come and lay right here

To where the river turns to dust

and God is never rushed

Come and lay by my side

Come and lay here

Red I need you and the world

Ah the buzzing, the stink, and the smell

Ah they're choking me

Come and lay by my side

Come and lay right here

You'll be dressed in a cloud

I'll be singing out my tune real loud

Come and lay by my side

Come and lay right here

Red I love you and the world

Yes it seemed to make sense when

Brother Santo said one more run be enough

Gonna be enough, be enough

Money for everything, silver-toed boots and gasoline

Come and lay by my side

Come and lay right here

Red I worry about you and the world

When I see you behind the glass

I forget that I'm in the cage

They bring me to Sunday mass

But it never wipes the rage

Red I love you and the world

Seven months gone and seven years to go

Red I can't stay no more

Come and lay by my side

Come and lay here

Red I need you in the world

Red I love you and the world
