Sweet Red

Sweet red, the things you do to my head
with a heart full of lead
I'm poisoned by the words you said
my sweet red,
taking your demons to bed
with you

I'll bet you don't even know
what you do to me
telling the truth while you lie to me

Sweet green, the love in your eyes I've seen
with a smile like pink velveteen
I'm sweetened by the the words you mean
my sweet green,
taking your amphetamines
this won't do

I'll bet you don't even care
what you do to me
devoted to me while you run around free

Waiting on spring
when the air is cool and clean
and the grass is a brilliant green
I'll take you to places you've never been
my heart's wide open, just walk right in
but please, please don't you break it again

I'll bet you don't even remember
all the hurtful words you've said
but I'll never surrender,
no, I'll never give up on you, sweet red

Sweet blue, you're spending all my money too
what a crazy love inside you
I'm waiting on the flow of emotions to prove
to my sweet blue,
you're taking me to the moon
oh, what to do?

Waiting on you
wondering if you'll come through
and give me love right out of the blue
will you take me to places I wanna go to
the heights of loving, hope to get there soon
but please, I beg you, don't make me your fool
I'm talking about...

Sweet red, sweet red, what're doing to my head
what with all the red I've bled
I feel the sting of the words you said
my sweet red,
taking your demons to our bed
just to stir things up
inside our crazy, colorful love
but somehow it's all I'll ever need for me
sweet red, you've gotta promise to bleed for me
after all the red I've bled
for you,
sweet red, I adore you
so let's be wed, what do you say?

"I'm the soul drifter, and I'm out of this town, ain't no use hangin' round, you see" -- Lindsey Buckingham, 'Soul Drifter'

I'm just a sucker for love and colors, I guess....but this poem rings my bell!

this is beauty....

And so it those we live with
and should know who elude us
But we can still love them
we can love completely
without complete understanding
