Badfinger - Crimson Ship lyrics

My life was coloured painting pictures out of tune You came from nowhere in a song It might have been the way I laughed, you made the jokes Could only show me what was wrong. He took me flying on his crimson ship He never left me his number He took me flying on his crimson ship Then he was gone and I wondered. Who put the notes on all the crosses on the hill? Why did the old man wash his hands? Who grew the flower that was big enough to k**? And build the trumpet in the band? He took me flying on his crimson ship He never left me his number He took me flying on his crimson ship Then he was gone and I wondered. When they were busy throwing kisses at the moon Her father lost his mother's son And though they knew the resurrection would be soon The time was spent, they carried on. He took me flying on his crimson ship He never left me his number He took me flying on his crimson ship Then he was gone and I wondered.
