Red Bird Morning

[Verse 1]
Oh, you made me an actress on your screen
See, I'm closing in on Aberdeen
But the snow's all gone and the grass is green
Unlike it was before
When I left you late at night for the northern roads
The old abandoned winter clothes
Mike was in the back and you swore he'd know
Just how to get us out
And I thought it was a lover's prayer
I said for you when I was there
But the sacred fire burned my hair
Before it hit the ground

[Chorus]
It's a red bird morning in Aberdeen
Oh, it's a red bird morning
The saddest sight I've ever seen

[Verse 2]
See me smoking on a cigarette
Same kind that took our nana's breath
It's the only flame that I have left
Will it be the death of me?
If you see two red birds in the dew
It's our loved ones there to be with you
It's the only way you'd love me too
So I'll burn another down

[Chorus]
It's a red bird morning in Aberdeen
Oh, it's a red bird morning
The saddest sight I've ever seen
