Brandon Flowers - The Red Ground Lyrics

Brandon Flowers Lyrics

"The Red Ground"

When you've been gone too long, you begin a kind of life
If you don't watch your step, boy, you can lose some things
Get tangled up in webs so far from your home
Should've cut yourself loose a long time ago

Been circling above now for so long
I'm ready to come down
Take me back
Take me back
I wanna put my feet in the red ground
And take her in my arms
Take me back
Take me back

When you've done built a wall clear around your heart
The echoes of the past ring out and ricochet
But you're shooting like a star so far from your home
You should've cut yourself loose a long time ago

Been circling above now for so long
I'm ready to come down
Take me back
Take me back
I wanna put my feet in the red ground
And take her in my arms
Take me back
Take me back

Feel the howling wind
Smell the greasewood flower on my skin
Listen to her voice soft and low
I'm signaling to traffic control

Been circling above now for so long
I'm ready to come down
Take me back
Take me back
I wanna put my feet in the red ground
And take her in my arms
Take me back
Take me back
