EVERYTHING WAS RED

I was just a girl who fell in love with Judy Everything was red it was never just her shoes I was just a girl overcome with envy Everything was gold if it belonged to you Oh, to be open and willing, to begin anew Oh, to be open and willing, to be a sister to you Oh, to be open and willing, to let the ghost be gone Oh, to be open and willing, to be the wiser one You were just a girl when mama was afraid She would leave us both well before her time Everything would change when you found your soul mate Then you went away but I felt left behind Oh, to be open and willing, to begin anew Oh, to be open and willing, to be a sister to you Oh, to be open and willing, to let the ghost be gone Oh, to be open and willing, to be the wiser one I spent a lifetime looking over my shoulder For the one who was older to carry me down To the river where we used to skip stones Before we skipped chapters to unwritten tomes I spent a lifetime looking over my shoulder For the one who was older to carry me down To the river where we used to skip stones Before we skipped chapters of unwritten tomes To begin anew, and be a sister to you To let the ghost be gone Oh, to be open and willing, to be the wiser one
