From the recording Red in the Room
Lyrics
Lust hungry purple shadows
In the night
Sweeping not sleeping and
Twinkling in the starry night
Behind the weary smile
She said just stay a while
And she took her spliff and lit it
With the red in the room
And let me dance before a basin full of water whispers
She swept the moonlit room with her pale skin
All exposed to elements and the soft dew
In the air
In the air
She spoke in tongues and riddles
Her favorite song
She couldn't remember her name
Or her desire
She was waiting 'til the time was right
To let him know her
Till about a quarter past four
She didn't even know herself
And let me dance before a basin full of water whispers
She swept the moonlit room with her pale skin
All exposed to elements and the soft dew
In the air
In the air
And let me dance before a basin full of water whispers
She swept the moonlit room with her pale skin
All exposed to elements and the soft dew
In the air
In the air
In the air
In the air
In the air
