Red And Purple Lyrics - The Dodos

There's nobody here 

To tell us a joke 

We tear off our ears 

The fire that we stoke 

You wrote me a note 

The pages were blank 

And I, I should have known 

Invisible ink 

I know that I am yours and you will be mine 

Come and join us in the trenches 

Red and purple by our side 

Say you'll never leave us 

In this company of mine 

You carry this dirt 

We stole from the source 

Its tongue will be hurt 

Attack from the north 

The color was red 

The number was six 

Now you're in my head 

No more to convince 

I know that I am yours and you will be mine 

Come and join us in the trenches 

Red and purple by our side 

Say you'll never leave us 

In this company of mine 

I bring this back home 

Just hoping I've changed 

So that you will know 

Just how I'm deranged 

But you're off on your search 

You're crying, then went to church 

You're safe, or at least I heard 

Until to me you return 

I know that I am yours and you will be mine 

Come and join us in the trenches 

Red and purple by our side 

Say you'll never leave us 

In this company of mine
