lyrics

Strange Shade of Red

Morning falls again sky is clear.
All the trees are still but she’s trembling.
Her eyes see beauty but she can’t hide tears.
What he took from her for all those years.
Oh she trusted him with childish faith
On the trips they took to that special place.
How could she have known what lay in wait?
His so called “bonding time” had a much different face.

She’s had enough she’s had it up to here.
What she had to do should have done now for years.
And the shanty burns and the fish have been fed.
And the boat outside is now painted a strange shade of red.

Ocean breaks again on new sand
as she washes him from her hands.
Oh she breathes relief but cries out for the man.
And leaves behind the boat now painted a strange shade of red.

Cause’ she’s had enough she’s had it up to here.
What she had to do should have done now for years.
And the shanty burns and the fish have been fed.
And the boat outside is now painted a strange shade of red.
