Red and Green

Red heels and bright blue eyes
Walking a steady line
Fire bombs and mortar shells
Deep kisses through the night
Dancing on thin ice
Chained up at the ankles
I look in your red eyes
And cover my green skin
Twist like an adder
Fall like a slice of snow
Dart between rocks
And I know what the darkness knows
Annie don't cry it's a delicate thing that we made
Sparrow don't cry it's a delicate thing that we made
Blind time, weighed out in time
Smite our own private sea
Time, gargantuan beat
Red and Green
Pick up my skin from the shelf by the bed
I can slip into my old ways, slip down the stairs
Let me make you sweet tea
Let me make you hot toast
Let me kiss you all over my only, my host
And in time, time, somewhere in time
Sail our own private sea
Time, sweet, terrible, sweet
Red and Green
Annie don't cry it's a delicate thing that we made
