Lyrics

Red Sky in the Morning

Gonna wake up tomorrow in a cold sweat
In a cold war, in a cold bed
Gonna wake up tomorrow in a cold sweat
Gonna be a red sky in the morning

Gonna be a red sky in the morning
Gonna be a red sky all day
Red sky in the morning
Red sky all day

Trouble in a day with no shadows
Everything is flat in the heavy haze
Trouble in a day with no shadows
Gonna be a red sky in the morning

Gonna be a red sky in the morning
Gonna be a red sky all day
Red sky in the morning
Red sky all day

Not gonna be a storm just the heat lighting
Not gonna fall asleep ?til the break of day
Not gonna be a storm just the heat lighting
Gonna be a red sky in the morning

Gonna be a red sky in the morning
Gonna be a red sky all day
Red sky in the morning
Red sky all day
