Lyrics Red House Painters

Red House Painters

Helicopter

Helicopter falls to my calm virgin island

It said, "I want to show you new clouds and new sky

From shore to sun we'll soar like one

Brave martyr pilot

So that I can know you

Outside our cold-winded earth

Feel part of your desolate pain

Taste what has made you grow

At once with your oddness you enlighten

My slow unnurtured brain

Be mine for a day

Let your lids shut out that bad focus

To die in a storm

Holding you in my last hour

Our burning flesh will blow over

Some nightmare sea

Daylight won't find a trace

Where heaven finds us

Living eyes won't find a sign

Where peace will hear our prayers
