Ned Farr & The Good Red Road

Lyrics

Judas, I can feel you inside me
You’re the kiss in a new tragedy
To purify, you and I will go walk the desert
Leave the car by the road
And bury our tracks
In the silent undertow
The noon day sun
Has just begun
With no clouds, no shade
Nowhere to run
I’ve been holding on
To this dreamland lately
I’ve been holding on
But this only ends in tears
Lover, I can feel you surrounding me
You’re a voice on the sun’s frequency
And though we cry
You and I are like a dry riverbed
We betray those we know
With the promise of a rain that never follows
The wounded heart
Will kill any spark
And God knows we both live in the dark
Well I’ve been holding on
To this dreamland lately
I’ve been holding on
But this only ends in tears
We both lie awake
Wide awake among the snakes
(Lover), Judas
You’re a shadow on the sand in front of me
And when embraced in your arms
I’m holding you tight
But we’re holding nothing
We can release this shame
Ah, but then who will remain?
I once heard
Someone telling me
That hell’s a cage with
No lock and key
You just stay inside
Though anytime you’re free to leave
So don’t ever tell
And we’ll all feel better
Don’t ever stray
This will only end
Don’t ever tell
We’ll all feel better
Don’t ever stray
This will only end in tears
