the road to ruin

Singer:john martyn

the sun was red and the sky was blue

and i went rowing on the road to ruin

how do you make a day like that?

how do you make it real?

the geese were making an evening sound

and i went raving down the crazy paving

how do you make a day like that?

how do you make it real?

and every day is just a joy to hold

the needle is new and the patterns are old

how do you make a game like that?

how do you make it real?

the sun was red and the sky was blue

and i went rowing on the road to ruin

how do you make a day like that?

how do you make it feel?
