about

Co-written with Sunny Breaks, this songs details a long night before the funeral of a dear young friend. Learning life's lessons...we had rule among our peer group, 'stay away from heroine'...I guess he lost his way.

lyrics

Red Hair Green (Robinson and Breaks c. 1999)

Well I guess I won't worry about you anymore
Some say they're angry
Can't believe that it's true

But it seems to me you been working on this for awhile
And I never could do anything for you
No, I never could do anything for you
Yeah

I wanna call my friends
Make sure everything's OK
Tell 'em I am sorry
Things worked out this way

I guess I lost my way
I guess I lost my way

She gave me the number
But the operator wouldn't put me through
She's so far away but not as far as you
She's so far away but not as far as you

Guess it was a to be or not to be day
Now I'll be chasing your light on my last night
And when I get there with my cane
You'll be skateboarding in the rain

There's no broken bones in heaven
Just an infinite good time
There's no broken bones in heaven
Just an infinite good time

'nought said Dave's dead
He said 'give yourself to smack and you it won't get it back'
I guess he lost his way
I guess he lost his way

No one could help Dave
Not me or you
You see he had a plan
And he saw it through

He thinks that's pretty brave
Not gonna let the needle take me to my grave

And I never could do anything for you
No I never could do anything for you

I wanna to call my friends
Make sure everything's OK
Tell 'em I'm sorry things worked out this way

Let's have rave for my friend Dave
He was a slave to things that he craved
And tomorrow they will lay him dead in his grave

I am glad I got to see your smiling face
Your blue eyes
Your red hair
Got to see your red hair
Got to see your red hair
Got to see your red hair
Green
Got to see you red hair
I guess I lost my way
You are so far away
You are so far away
You are so far away

Well I guess I won't worry about you anymore
