Red Letter Day Songtext
von Joe Henry

There will come a day and soon
This cold parade is over
The mule will not be stubborn then
The judge will not be sober
The choir will not amplify
The song to put asunder
The day that I know is soon to come

For now′s the time
Oh, now's the time
Oh, now′s the time


And here will be my latter home
With clothes and my good wishes
For any light that might begin
To revelate all this is
Written out before you now
Dropping threads and stitches
But here will be my last kind word blues

For now's the time
Oh, now's the time
Oh, now′s the time

Now′s the time for rags and tears
For every face to bury
The mask we cannot leave behind
The burden that it carries
These eyes belong to all of us now
Naked wide if weary
Oh, now's the day for all your tears and mine

Oh, now′s the time
Oh, now's the time
Oh, now′s the time
