show me the way

Crowded House

And I opened up
When the sheriff came
In my father's name

And I took the fall
For my brothers' shame
Would you do the same?

When I see red
I put a handgun
Under my pillow
When I see blue
I put a blanket
Over my window

Please show me the way to help
Show me the way to love you
For real

The smokers came
Through the sugar cane
With the burning cross

You'll forget me not
When you wipe away
All the holy pain

When I see red
I feel a pow?r
For no reason

When I see blue
I think of nothing
That lasts for?ver

Please show me the way to help
Show me the way to love you
For real
Show me now
'Cos I'm still learning
It's all or nothing
Show me the way to love you for real
