[Lyric] Red Dirt Morning (Cassie Josephine and Gabriel Minnikin)

On that red dirt morning, packed a wagon
Boarded a boat, sailed from that Island
In a schackled sea, shook us in the east
Waves in the wind, at our feet
So sing me
Sing me the blues

The shade was a secret the sun wouldn’t share
Colour of night, was her hair
And those burnt bones mingled, by-and-by
Hand holdin daydreams, throughout the night
So sing me
Sing me the blues


The journey was over at the bottom of the stairs
Vultures hovered in the air
Pale and imperfect was left behind
In this darkness, I will shine

So sing me
Sing me the blues
