Red Rider

Songwriter: Tom Cochrane

Producer: David Tickle

There's a light by the window
There's a shadow by the sea
Where there's an angel or assassin
I know she waits for me

There's a time and place she say
Where we can always meet
Well that's alright by me
Breakaway

I can always hear her say
There's a time and there's a place
Where we can always be
Breakaway

That secret paradise
We'd find it again and again
She'd roll me like a train
On that sunken island
We'd run together
Where know one dared to dream
I can still remember that silken beacon

Oh, breakaway
I can almost hear her say
The world is such a stupid place
We'll crack the sky and get lost in space
Oh, breakaway

Oh, breakaway
I can almost hear her say
The world is such a stupid place
We'll crack the sky and get lost in space
Oh, breakaway

Red Rider was a Canadian rock band that formed in 1975. A few years later, future rock legend Tom Cochrane joined the band, and in 1979 released its breakthrough album Don’t Fight It. As Far as Siam, released in 1981, contained Lunatic Fringe, which remains Red Rider’s largest success. The band broke up silently in 1990, but reformed in 2002 and plays live to this day.
