John Illsley Red Turns To Blue
Say goodnight, baby
The day has lost its summer glow
Night calls in long shadows fast
The sea shimmers like broken glass
I hear those mighty engines roar
Do we run, do we hit the floor?
Just a look, nothing left to say
Black and white fades to grey
All I'm left with is a photograph
Coloured memory of you
These footsteps take another path
Mist covered eyes - as the red turns to blue
Old age burnt on a young mans face
Such innocence, such youthful waste
What you got here is what you see
Ten thousand years of history
All I'm left with is a photograph
Coloured memory of you
These footsteps take another path
Mist covered eyes - as the red turns to blue
So we tried to make a difference
We were tired of sitting on the fence
We were heroes before we had gone
Kidded ourselves, this won't take long
But now the flag flies half way down
And the tears are flowing free
Right or wrong, we're the last to know
And the day has lost its summer glow
All I'm left with is a photograph
Coloured memory of you
These footsteps take another path
Mist coloured eyes - as the red turns to blue
