I walk on stone, it leads me home
We don’t have streets, just pure concrete
I’m not glad when I get home
I’m sad old red, I don’t wanna be alone
No more, no more
I go whiter in the face, my feet begin to shake
I go upstairs to that heavenly place
I’m not glad when I get home
I’m sad old red, I don’t wanna be alone no more
Chorus:
Sad old red, sat at home
Sad old red, living on his own
Sad old red, sat at home
Sad old red, let me take you home
It’s a cubic room, two holes peep through
Shadows on the wall of trees so tall
I think of her again, the joy that she used to bring
Lay there in bed, two words she said
When we made love
She said to me “oh red”
She said “oh red”
All the time “oh red”, every night “oh red”
Sad old red
That’s what I am
All the time
That’s what I am
All the time
Sad old red
Sad old red
