Ered bird is dreaming 
the Abottom of the sea
E1819
taking no Bpassengers
meets the Afishes
and his new Eneighbors
off the Bcoast
of vAirginia
are the Eshipwrecks and the tBreasures
of sApain, of Espain
i swallowed these tears
like a thousand other times
can't hear the thunder
of the train roll by
give me a sign
i've been haunting this corner
for too many years
the sidewalk crawls
the gutters streak
washes the day, the day, away
Ewhere where do Byou go
got your sight Ato the Ewindow
into thBe palms
maybe the Apalms 
can break your Efall
i climb up these stairs
like a thousand other times
can't hear the traffic
or the war outside
quater to 5
been writing this letter
for too many years
the trumpet sounds
the devil speaks
oh virginia
here's to believing
to virginia
where where do you go
got your sight to the window
into the palms
maybe the palms 
can break your fall
where where do you go
got your sight to the window
into the palms
maybe the palms 
can break your fall

red bird is dreaming

the bottom of the sea

1819

taking no passengers

meets the fishes

and his new neighbors

off the coast

of virginia

E B

are the shipwrecks and the treasures

A E

of spain, of spain

i swallowed these tears

like a thousand other times

can't hear the thunder

of the train roll by

give me a sign

i've been haunting this corner

for too many years

the sidewalk crawls

the gutters streak

washes the day, the day, away

E B

where where do you go

A E

got your sight to the window

into the palms

maybe the palms

can break your fall

i climb up these stairs

like a thousand other times

can't hear the traffic

or the war outside

quater to 5

been writing this letter

for too many years

the trumpet sounds

the devil speaks

oh virginia

here's to believing

to virginia

where where do you go

got your sight to the window

into the palms

maybe the palms

can break your fall

where where do you go

got your sight to the window

into the palms

maybe the palms

can break your fall
