[VERSE 1]
Dawn in crimson, just like the tide
Solid ocean, shore's behind
Head for the edge of the world when you finally push the boat out
Knowing only what you know now
[Chorus 1]
And all that you learn you'll have to forget - forget
Painting it over again and again - red, red!
See for yourself
[VERSE 2]
Sunken treasures - you buried them deep
Currents unseen take you down, taking you down, down
Taking you down, down, taking you down
Belly feels awful weak
You only see what you see now
[Chorus 2]
And all that you learn you'll have to forget - painting it red!
[BRIDGE]
With the blood ink in your veins
Take those sails and paint them red
No escape from the rise and the fall of the waves
For the unwritten days and those days you cannot change
On the journey from womb to the grave, many things to forgive and forget
Ah heartache! No need to regret
But there are some things in this life that are heartache - red!
[Chorus 3]
And all that you learn you'll have to forget - it never comes easy
Painting it over again and again - red, red!
[INTERLUDE]
They were patiently waiting for her to arrive
Finally she came ashore, late to her own life
[OUTRO]
We'll cross that when we come to it - brace yourself
We'll cross that when we come to it
We'll come to it - brace yourself
