Listen to my new album "Old Time Feeling" available now: sg-goodman.lnk.to/OldTimeFeeling

Lyrics:

Oh you made me an actress on your screen
See I'm closing in on Aberdeen
But the snow’s all gone and the grass is green
Unlike it was before

When I left you late at night for the northern roads
Leola bound in winter clothes
Mike was in the back and he swore he'd know
Just how to get us out

And I thought it was a lover's prayer
I said for you when I was there
But the sacred fire it burned my hair
Before it hit the ground

It’s a red bird morning in Aberdeen
Oh it's a redbird morning
The saddest sight
I've ever seen

You see me smoking on this cigarette
Same kind that took our nana's breath
It's the only flame that I have left
Will it be the death of me

If you see two red birds in the dew
It's our loved ones there to be with you
It's the only way you'd love me too
So I'll burn another down

It’s a red bird morning in Aberdeen
Oh it's a red bird morning
The saddest sight I've ever seen
