Красная любовь - Red Love

[Verse]
Half a shadow in the midnight cold
My heart's a cryin prisoner bold
Svetlana's smile so warm and bright
Cuts through the frost of Soviet night
[Verse 2]
I watched her dance in Moscow's dawn
With cherry locks like fire reborn
I reach but chains hold back my hand
A soldier's love not worth a strand
[Chorus]
Красная любовь in my soul runs deep
Svetlana's touch that I can't keep
Through the Kremlin walls I see her light
But darkness holds me every night
[Bridge]
In Joseph’s eyes I see my fate
Guarding love behind the gate
Blood on my badge but heart so clean
A Commissar with broken dreams
[Verse 3]
Dreams of us in freedom's air
But iron bars they hold me there
Red love forbidden as a sin
A love that joy can't ever win
[Chorus]
Красная любовь in my soul runs deep
Svetlana's touch that I can't keep
Through the Kremlin walls I see her light
But darkness holds me every night
