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

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
