Iveys Crimson Ship Lyrics

Crimson Ship Lyrics

My life was coloured, painting pictures out of tune



You came from
nowhere in a song



It might have been the way I laughed, he made
the jokes



Could only show me what was wrong





CHORUS:



He took me flying on his crimson ship



He
never left me his number



He took me flying on his crimson ship



Then he was gone and I wondered





Who put the knots
on all the crosses on the hill?



Why did the old man wash his
hands?



Who grew the flower that was big enough to kill?



And blew the trumpet in the band, a-and





CHORUS





Oh-oh, oh-oh





When they were busy throwing kisses
at the moon



A father lost his mother's son



And though
they knew the resurrection would be soon



The time was spent, they
carried on, o-on





CHORUS





Wondered
[repeat and fade].
