Red Skies

Along a broken path of golden glass Beneath the rooftop gardens twisted vines Spending days hidden underneath cobblestone After night fall we’ll see just how high we can go Bare feet with all our luck strapped to a string…. Amongst other things Takes a lifetime to say why it aches, a second to lie And pretend all it takes to replace it is glitter and wine If nobody asks, that’s cause they all know, That’s just how it goes, it’s where we call home And nothing’s worse than those who just can’t put on a show Hello again old friend of mine My loyal partner in crime Will you be here when the sun goes down? Or are you as scared as I? Blood in the water, the colour of rust A flash of raven hair, then ashes to dust You never think much of what you say I take it to heart though all the same Then in the end I don’t quite know who I should blame Hello again sweet love of mine My crooked angel of light Will I see you in my dreams tonight? Red seas beneath a red sky
