Garnet Rogers - Red Wing lyrics

Lace curtains at my window The south wind blows them in I heard the Redwing sing today I think he brought the spring Winters so long leaving So shyly comes the spring Lie beside me darling Listen to him sing What a gift of sight you had To see into my heart You did not flinch or turn from me Though you saw me from the start Likewise love I saw you Oh our love so rare a thing That redwing is one happy boy Would you listen to him sing The ice broke on the river I could hear groan and boom It thundered in the darkness As we lay there in our room We held each other sweetly And we clung all through the night And the redwing brought the south wind By the dawning of the light Well the fox cries in the moonlight The deer leaps in the wood The hawk circles o'er the valley I would touch him if I could I was born to love you As the redwing heralds spring Just lie beside me darling Listen to him sing
