Red Rising Sun



Red sun rising thru my cabin door
My friends warned me, you don’t love me any more
When I last saw you in the pines
Your green eyes sparkle and I held your hand in mine

There’s no escape from love they say
There’s no escaping truth
There’s no answer for me today
In this room there’s no you.

Take a walk back to when we met
Take a walk with me
Take a walk up that state park cliff
Breathe in and smell the trees

Red sun set on the lake that night
We drifted along with calm delight
A loon called to the stars above
Your green eyes reflected all my love.

There’s no escape from love they say
There’s no escaping truth
There’s no answer for me today
In this room there’s love for you.

Red storm blew in that night
Black clouds of foul spoken smite
The lake raged, wind blew from the south
The door slammed and the taillights pulled out

There’s no escape from love they say
There’s no escaping truth
There’s no answer for me today
In this room there’s no you.
