[Verse 1] The castle clock is losing its gold My carriage is a gate in terminal four One little bag, one borrowed coat A boarding pass to your faraway shore [Pre-Chorus] My crown is crooked in the glass The red eye calls my name at last [Chorus] I am taking the red eye to you With the whole pale moon in my shoes No sleep, no spell, no white horse tonight Just a paper cup and a runway light I am taking the red eye to you Till the morning turns the clouds to blue [Verse 2] The barista asks me how I stand I say, “My princess has my hand” Filtered coffee, one espresso shot A red eye burning in the pot [Pre-Chorus] I drink the dark, I hold on fast One more gate, one more hour to pass [Chorus] I am taking the red eye to you With the whole pale moon in my shoes No sleep, no spell, no white horse tonight Just a paper cup and a runway light I am taking the red eye to you Till the morning turns the clouds to blue [Bridge] If I close my eyes, I see your door Your lantern trembling by the shore So let the engines shake my bones They are carrying me home [Final Chorus] I am taking the red eye to you With the last warm drop to pull me through No sleep, no spell, no white horse tonight Just your name and a runway light I am taking the red eye to you And the dawn will find me next to you
