The Dark Side of Red

from The Dark Side of Red by Shandy Lawson

/

lyrics

The first thing I heard was the hum of the lights overhead
And in the next bed was a girl
With hair on the dark side of red
She said, “Buddy, you ought to be dead—
Buddy, you ought to be dead.”

I felt around and I found a tube in my arm
And the beat of my heart sounded out
An insistent, hypnotic chirp
And I couldn’t speak a word
I couldn’t speak a word

I reached back deep in my brain on how I got there
And way back there somewhere was the answer
Afraid to come out of the dark
And I couldn’t draw a spark
I couldn’t draw a spark

But oh—I remember love in her eyes
But that was before,
Back in some other life
Some other life

I fell in love with the girl in the next bed
Her hair on the dark side of red, she reached out
To me and offered her hand
She said, “Baby, you know who I am.
“Baby, you know who I am.”
