Red Wing from Earth Hero by Kamara Thomas

RED WING

I wanna be an old woman
Gold buckles on my shoes
Staring deep into a cauldron
Tripping over the clover

I wanna be an old woman
No cares to cut my mind
A good spell to bide my time
And sing a song auguring the red-wing blackbird

Red wing, red wing
Red wing, red wing

I wanna be a grasshopper
And taking my time
Waiting on an unspecified rhyme
Jumping only when I feel to

I wanna be a grasshopper
Staring up at the sky
With no care for wrong or why
Happy singing with the red-wing blackbird

Red wing, red wing
Red wing, red wing

I want to be a painter
I want to know what painters know
I want to see straight into heaven
I want to dream in gold, gold, gold

I want to fly into the dawning sky
Alight on a clover and cry into the morning
I'm waiting my love
Flying on my red wing
I want to fly into the morning light
Is it dawning on you baby
I'm calling you
Flying on my red wing
