Redwing, I know you feel it changing That wind it moans Trying to make up its poor mind Redwing, you know my heart's been taken So won't you please help me keep it by my side? I hear you sing, and it sounds like you'll be leaving. And I would not keep you, but I sure don't wanna see you go. Oh Redwing, my Redwing, please don't fly away. Redwing, the fear of desolation That holds my feet Makes you wanna chase the sky And the same things that give me consolation They steal your sleep And tell you that it's time to fly Redwing, I'll tie you to my finger I'll walk this world And you can fly above my head. And in the evenings You can light upon my shoulder And I'll close my eyes and rest my head upon your breasts. And when I hear you sing I'll know you won't be leaving. Cause my love will keep you, and I'll follow everywhere you go. Oh Redwing, my Redwing lead me far away. Oh, Redwing, Redwing, oh Redwing be my home.
