Red, Red, Red

Your beauty distracts me
Your springtime rose has entangled me in its thorns
And when the depths of winter came
There I stayed

With my gaze facing the dirt
I slowly lift my head
And my Father comes to set me free

And when I realize I am free
I see another beauty

This time a deer

And I run from my father's house
To catch it
To keep it
To kill it

And I hunt

With blood as my prize

And when I succeed
I may be reminded by that deep red shade
Of the rose
And of my Father
And of my Savior

But now I am lost

End of Summer

All the girls downtown wear their big boots
And I can't help but be reminded of your little feet

All the girls downtown wear their short skirts
And I can't help but be reminded of your pajama pants

All the girls downtown dye their hair
And I can't help but be reminded of "Stacks of Wheat (End of Summer)"
And its pure color

All the girls downtown aren't you
