Prodigal Sun - Mars Red Sky

Looking out from an attic

Vultures arrow the sky

Refugees fleeing a conflict

Windows reflect in my eyes

My train of thoughts missed a station

Got off at Memory Lane

Oh she was kind of a looker

We were eleven or ten

Always on the run

Smothered in southern affection

She sure would never complain

Bad sitcom shot on location

Love and artificial rain

See the prodigal sun

Who’s always on the run

Lost it and shot the messenger

It should have raised my alarm

Came back for more, i surrendered

We bailed and let in the dark

But here you’ll shine on forever

Hovering now and then

Majestic flower of April

At times you’ll surface again

Bearer of heartbreaking news

Rain sodden April’s Fool

Here you’ll shine on forever

Hovering now and then

Majestic flower of April

In time you’ll surface again

Bearer of heartbreaking news

Rain sodden April’s Fool

Artificial son

Forever on the run
