If you smile at me I'll follow where you go For a walk on cobble stones you'll have my soul When I see you paint the red white blues In high heel shoes, your beauty never ends When the morning comes my bed will still be warm When the thunder strikes we'll shelter from the storm When I see you paint the red white blues In high-heel shoes, your beauty never ends Stand by me, queen of hearts Walk with me, in revelry we'll never be apart Light might change just every colour But the red white blues will sway forever more You've tried to wrap your head right round it Her inviting smile's right on the dime But yesterday's burned to ashes
And nostalgia's no longer a friend of mine She promised me a promised land So drink with me, in revelry we're always hand in hand I never got what I paid for But I am still coming around for more As your streets and made for dreamers Where the drifter and the gambler score And I'll follow you wherever you will go Down the dark and lonely hole inside your soul I'm your ally in a war with no victory If there's one thing I can tell you what is pretty ain't always sweet In the ashes of the promised land To the tunes of another crappy band How the west was lost but won in east How the red white blues still sway for you and me
