Baby, I know I’m no good
And I don’t wonder why
You’ve been so distant with me
For an awful long time.

I wanted to be with you, truly,
But ended up high and dry.
So eager to end it and fall
Through the surface of muddy red sky.

Yet regardless I try
To keep myself up and above.
Mostly for you, though
My bittersweet love.

I dreamt of us kissing,
We sat by the river at night.
The moon was reflecting
In your golden-tan eyes.

I sang for you softly,
Some sweet lullaby.
While the rest of the world
Slowly passed by.

The dream started fading,
As dreams often do,
And left me with nothing
But the crimson eye blues.
