Red Blooms Lyrics

The song Red Blooms is performed by Calexico in the album named Carried to Dust in the year 2024 .



When the fists of winter fly, driving bones into the snow
Blackened frostbitten nights, vodka running dry
The statues cloaked in white and migrants from museums
Losing all the feeling now that sunrise is outlawed

Strangers plant themselves down in the cold hard ground
Later when the harvest thaws snow drops will be in bloom

Crossed out on city maps, Prospekt Mira reveals
Shadows drinking antifreeze 'neath the underpa*s
Ordered once a Gulag's march, now cities send the call
Falling from the rooftops fast and frozen against the wall

Where strangers plant themselves, dead souls of the underground
When February thaws snow drops will be in bloom again
Bloom again, bloom again, bloom again, bloom again
Red blooms, red blooms
