Red Wing lyrics by The Steel Wheels
1
In the summer sun, in 1981
The day was long till I heard the song,
whistle like the wind
And I was standing there;
dust was flying through the air
Like days before when we believed in things we couldn't see
[:: CHORUS ::]
Oh my red wing, take me softly
To my home now, to my family
Oh my red wing, hold me closely
Take me under, the brightest sun
2
When the day is done,
and another night has come
I'll rest my weary bones and pray
the bird I love hasn't flown away
And I will call again,
up to my kindest friend.
The ground below will be set free
and with my love I'll be
[:: CHORUS ::]
3.
Money she has none,
and she was never one
By metal wings or death machines
or anything between
And when my time has come,
and all my days are done
If heaven waits we'll breach the gates
on her wings we'll be won
