lyrics

He was born by the sea, saltwater in his hand
The wind was wild the day he came
It tore across the island

Red clay man – play that song again
It’s prettier by far than anything
Red clay man

When it came his time to leave
He kicked the red dust from his shoes
But in time he would believe
It was more than innocence he’d loose

Red clay man – go on home again
It’s prettier by far than where you’ve been
Red clay man

I’m telling stories about place that I’ve never been
And I’m drowning faces in the bottom of the gin
His cold cold beauty keeps me coming back to him
No love or duty only this melodic whim
Red clay man

He’s traveled in my ears
All across this broken land
When the wind froze my marrowed bones
He was comfort in my hand

Red clay man – I’m going home again
It’s prettier by far than anywhere I’ve been
Red clay man
