Mike Heron - Redbone lyrics

rate me

Krendo, how long we been fighting

How long we been dying

And still we return

Krendo, we gypsies in starships

We just don't know what fear is

We've died too many times

But this time you've got me, it's one up for you

This body is done

Childhood, another damn childhood

Sure I know that you'll miss me

But don't count the years

One day you'll see my starship

Making your heart beat just a little bit faster

When old Redbone flies again

Stand aside yeah, pale mother of mine

Your boy is going

There ain't no force field that you have

That's strong enough to keep him back

Stand aside yeah, pale mother of mine

I played the blue-eyed boy for you

Just as long as I could do

And now I'm through

Krendo, how long we been fighting

How long we been dying

And still we return

Krendo, we gypsies in starships

We just don't know what fear is

Guess we've died too many times

Look out here comes my starship

Making your heart beat just a little bit faster

Old Redbone flies again
