If you smile at me I'll follow where you go

For a walk on cobble stones you'll have my soul

When I see you paint the red white blues

In high heel shoes, your beauty never ends



When the morning comes my bed will still be warm

When the thunder strikes we'll shelter from the storm

When I see you paint the red white blues

In high-heel shoes, your beauty never ends



Stand by me, queen of hearts

Walk with me, in revelry we'll never be apart

Light might change just every colour

But the red white blues will sway forever more



You've tried to wrap your head right round it

Her inviting smile's right on the dime

But yesterday's burned to ashes

And nostalgia's no longer a friend of mine



She promised me a promised land

So drink with me, in revelry we're always hand in hand



I never got what I paid for

But I am still coming around for more

As your streets and made for dreamers

Where the drifter and the gambler score



And I'll follow you wherever you will go

Down the dark and lonely hole inside your soul

I'm your ally in a war with no victory

If there's one thing I can tell you what is pretty ain't always sweet



In the ashes of the promised land

To the tunes of another crappy band

How the west was lost but won in east

How the red white blues still sway for you and me
