Lyrics Red & White & Blue & Gold - Aoife O'Donovan

Red & White & Blue & Gold

Red and white and blue and gold, I wanna wait for
The water to touch my toes
On the beach it’s the 4th 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, 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, 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 my heart gets sore from
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 hmmm 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 4th of July, I wanna wait for
The fire to burn my eyes
