Aoife O'donovan Red & White & Blue & Gold Lyrics

Red and white and blue and gold
I wanna wait for the water to touch my toes
On the beach it's the Fourth of July
I wanna wait for the fire to burn my eyes

Come on, sit next to me
Bury my feet, bury my feet in the sand
There's a hole and it's twelve miles deep
I dug it with my hands

Come on, lie next to me
I'll sing you to sleep, I'll sing you to sleep
There's a band on the boardwalk, you're tapping your feet
But I'm too drunk to dance

Black and blue all on my face
I wanna follow you home, I wanna see your place
I wanna take you in my arms and float down a river with you
I wanna buy the farm

Come on, let's run away Baby let's go, let's go
There's a southbound train pulling out at nine
Leave this jukebox joint behind

Come on, let's have one more
I don't wanna go, I'm not ready to go
I'm scared of the way that my heart gets sore
Wondering if you're mine
Come on, let's jump in
The water is cold, it's gonna be cold
But the feeling I get when you touch my skin
Hmm, it makes me bold

Come on, let's kiss
In the July sun beneath the July sky
Oh the feeling I get when you pass me by

Red and white and blue and gold
I wanna wait for the water to touch my toes
It's the Fourth of July
I wanna wait for the fire to burn my eyes
