Black and Red
Lyrics by Justin Zimmer, music by Suno - Full Playlist
[intro] [Verse 1] When I was small, Mama let me climb the lighthouse and I'd lean there on the railing watching all the schooners sailing Until I saw your ship come into view. [Pre-Chorus] Then I'd race down, while your old boat trundled into, the wharf, My small feet pattering I'd play with my pigtails flapping When the beebalms bloomed in black And red. [chorus] I've crafted this dream a thousand times out of my hope and memory I'll jump into your arms not a single word there spoken just that little light emotion that little joy to get me through the day. [verse 2] Now I'm fifteen years old and you're never coming home Still I watch the infinite sky climb over the lip of the ocean And I imagine your ship still appears. [Pre-Chorus] Then I'm there again while your old boat trundles into, the wharf, My small feet pattering I see your handsome face smiling When the maples turn to black And red [chorus] I've crafted this dream a thousand times out of my hope and memory I'll jump into your arms not a single word there spoken just that little light emotion that little joy to get me through the day. [chanting interlude] [verse 3] But something's wrong Your face, it looks terrified Somewhere out there in the harbor a dark mast breaks through the water And whips of bullets rip through the air [pre-chorus] Now I'm screaming While your old boat shatters into pieces, and I watch you sinking Overboard, your body falling Where the water blooms in black. and red. [chorus] I'd crafted this dream a thousand times out of my hope and memory But now it's different Now my daydream has been broken by that sour raw emotion No little joy to get me through the day. [Refrain] Now the water blooms In Black And Red [end]
