cherry red

Lyrics

i was thinking back to the first time we met, over plangent chords in a sad vignette, you were waving goodbye in a cherry red corvette, and your lips were too, cherry red that is, with the sky so blue, it was almost mean and your eyes were too, so blue that is, now i am too, and my heart burns cherry red for you, now my heart burns cherry red for you, like a fire of beech wood, the saw don't like it, but you get some cut, one match will strike it, and the embers glow till the wee small hours, when the old seems almost new, that's when my heart burns cherry red for you, it was cherry red with custom flames, at the hot rod show when the kingsmen came, and that bass guitar, it rattled my frame and it shook you too, the corvette was big daddy roth's design, get your picture for a dollar and have it signed, first you got yours then i got mine, and my heart burned cherry red for you, now my heart burns cherry red for you, like a fire of beech wood, the saw don't like it, but you get some cut, one match will strike it, and the embers glow till the wee small hours, when the old seems almost new, that's when my heart burns cherry red for you, that's when my heart burns cherry red, my heart burns cherry red, that's when my heart burns cherry red for you, now that fake blue sky, it sure looks real, like you were goin' to california to make a deal, with the god of youth, with the man of steel, waving toodle-oo, now if i was young, i might track you down, but this old picture is all i found, now my bones are shakin', my teeth are ground down, and my heart burns cherry red for you, now my heart burns cherry red for you, like a fire of beech wood, the sun don't like it, but you get some cut, one match will strike it, and the embers glow till the wee small hours, when the old seems almost new, that's when my heart burns cherry red, that's when my heart burns cherry red, that's when my heart burns cherry red for you
