lyrics

I’m riding by,
You’re clinging there.
A cattail against a clear blue sky,
A boy with a little bit of hair.

What do you think about me?
Are you busy traveling on?
Me, too, if I can just get free,
If I can just, if I can just get to traveling on.

(chorus)
Red-winged blackbird,
Loved you for a long time.
But I haven’t heard,
Your call and now I’m,
Asking myself just one word,
Why?
We’re singing, why?

Rouse me, house me in those secret places,
Where you know the dangers, you know the faces,
And we keep each other safe,
Yeah, we keep each other safe.

I’m driving by,
You’re clinging there.
An old road under a sun hung high,
A man letting go of all care.

(repeat chorus)

Choose me, lose me in those secret places,
Where you know the dangers, you know the faces,
And we keep each other safe,
Yeah, we keep each other safe.
