"Red"
(from "Red Dead Redemption 2")
I'm going to where the sun burns
And the heat stays in command
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay right here
To where the river turns to dust
And God is never rushed
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay here
Red, I need you and the world
Ah the buzzing, the stink and the smell
Yeah, it's choking me
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay right here
You'll be dressed in a cloud
I'll be singing out my tune real loud
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay right here
Red, I love you and the world
Yes, it seemed to make sense
When Brother Santo said
One more run be enough
Going to be enough, be enough
Money for everything
Silver toed boots and gasoline
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay right here
Red, I worry about you and the world
When I see you behind the glass
I forget that I'm the cage
They bring me to Sunday mass
But it never wiped the rage
Red, I love you and the world
Seven months gone and seven years to go
Red, I can't stand no more
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay here
Red, I need you and the world
Red, I love you and the world

"That's the way it is"
(from "Red Dead Redemption 2")
The many miles we walked
The many things we learned
The building of a shrine
Only just to burn
May the wind be at your back
Good fortune touch your hand
May the cards lay out a straight
All from your command
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
Blue heron leaves the northern sky
Trusts the journey to new heights
What's the meaning of the scar
If we don't learn how to heal
Should we ever be apart
Then how does it feel
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
Shine light into darkness
Shine light into darkness
That's the way it is
That's the way it is (so many miles to walk)
That's the way it is (so many things we've got to learn)
That's the way it is (oh, that's the way it is)
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
*****
"Unshaken"
(from "Red Dead Redemption 2")
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
Did I hear a thunder?
Did I hear you break?
I can't quite remember
Just what guided me this way, oh
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
The pines, they often whisper
They whisper what no tongue can tell
He who drinks from the deep water
May he know the depths of the well
Well
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
May I, stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
Mmm, oh, traveler
What have you seen?
Were there crossroads
Where you been, where you been?
I once was standing tall
Now I feel my back's against the wall
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
May I, stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
The morning light
When it comes to me
It was there but I could not see
Am I to wander
As a wayward son?
Will the hunter be hunted
By the smoking gun?
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world

"Cruel World"
(from "Red Dead Redemption 2")
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on
I've been living too fast
And I've been living too long
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
This big ol' world sure got me running 'round
I heard a voice that said, "Just settle down"
And with the moonlight as my guide
And with this feeling deep inside
I know now that I am homeward bound
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on
I've been living too fast
And I've been living too long
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
Desert rose, desert plain
I have seen so much pain
Now I see into the eyes of a girl
No more, no more, cruel world
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on
I've been living too fast
And I've been living too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone

"Letter from Bluewater Man"
(from "Red Dead Redemption 2")
Dear hazy moon
Eyes blinded by a hazy moon
The soul I sold was a soul they stowed
Truth untold
Dear crazy swoon
Heart black by a crazy swoon
Old friends and foes, lies Lemoyne hold
Truth untold
I chose the deal
This devil's hand
I won't pretend
This devil's hand
I gotta revenge
Yours truly, Bluewater Man

Old friends and foes, lies Lemoyne hold
Truth untold
I chose the deal
This devil's hand
I won't pretend
This devil's hand
I gotta revenge
Yours truly, Bluewater Man

"Red"
(from "Red Dead Redemption 2")
I'm going to where the sun burns
And the heat stays in command
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay right here
To where the river turns to dust
And God is never rushed
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay here
Red, I need you and the world
Ah the buzzing, the stink and the smell
Yeah, it's choking me
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay right here
You'll be dressed in a cloud
I'll be singing out my tune real loud
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay right here
Red, I love you and the world
Yes, it seemed to make sense
When Brother Santo said
One more run be enough
Going to be enough, be enough
Money for everything
Silver toed boots and gasoline
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay right here
Red, I worry about you and the world
When I see you behind the glass
I forget that I'm the cage
They bring me to Sunday mass
But it never wiped the rage
Red, I love you and the world
Seven months gone and seven years to go
Red, I can't stand no more
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay here
Red, I need you and the world
Red, I love you and the world

"That's the way it is"
(from "Red Dead Redemption 2")
The many miles we walked
The many things we learned
The building of a shrine
Only just to burn
May the wind be at your back
Good fortune touch your hand
May the cards lay out a straight
All from your command
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
Blue heron leaves the northern sky
Trusts the journey to new heights
What's the meaning of the scar
If we don't learn how to heal
Should we ever be apart
Then how does it feel
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
Shine light into darkness
Shine light into darkness
That's the way it is
That's the way it is (so many miles to walk)
That's the way it is (so many things we've got to learn)
That's the way it is (oh, that's the way it is)
That's the way it is
That's the way it is

"Unshaken"
(from "Red Dead Redemption 2")
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
Did I hear a thunder?
Did I hear you break?
I can't quite remember
Just what guided me this way, oh
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
The pines, they often whisper
They whisper what no tongue can tell
He who drinks from the deep water
May he know the depths of the well
Well
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
May I, stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
Mmm, oh, traveler
What have you seen?
Were there crossroads
Where you been, where you been?
I once was standing tall
Now I feel my back's against the wall
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
May I, stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
The morning light
When it comes to me
It was there but I could not see
Am I to wander
As a wayward son?
Will the hunter be hunted
By the smoking gun?
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world

"Cruel World"
(from "Red Dead Redemption 2")
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on
I've been living too fast
And I've been living too long
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
This big ol' world sure got me running 'round
I heard a voice that said, "Just settle down"
And with the moonlight as my guide
And with this feeling deep inside
I know now that I am homeward bound
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on
I've been living too fast
And I've been living too long
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
Desert rose, desert plain
I have seen so much pain
Now I see into the eyes of a girl
No more, no more, cruel world
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on
I've been living too fast
And I've been living too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone

"Letter from Bluewater Man"
(from "Red Dead Redemption 2")
Dear hazy moon
Eyes blinded by a hazy moon
The soul I sold was a soul they stowed
Truth untold
Dear crazy swoon
Heart black by a crazy swoon
Old friends and foes, lies Lemoyne hold
Truth untold
I chose the deal
This devil's hand
I won't pretend
This devil's hand
I gotta revenge
Yours truly, Bluewater Man
