Dancing Under Red Skies

Sitting out in warm winds, flecks of sun painted on the sea
You smiled and looked down when I told you
‘It ain’t bad to be me’
Give me moonlight, and a smile from you that I can
That I can barely believe

Baby, those plans are grand, but you don’t mean the same
When they ask you who you’re living for
You’ll drop my name, and then
And I found a new courage that kills cowards I’ve been holding in
It took us back to times when real men were real men

Let me tell you, no one ever got my soul right like she could, yeah
Amongst artists in heartlessness, dealing in darknesses
I know, I know
One time nobody ever got my soul right like she could, yeah
Now, I’m close to what I’m needing
Now, I’m close to what I’m needing

One by one, we made it up over that hill
One by one, they picked us off, laughing still
Let me know, let me know when I’ve got room to run
Let me know, let me know when that fool is cleaning his gun
And I–

Let me tell you, no one ever got my soul right like she could, yeah
Amongst artists in heartlessness, dealing in darknesses
I know, I know
One time nobody ever got my soul right like she could, yeah
Now, I’m close to what I’m needing

And I hold on to your heart
And I keep on coming round, falling down this part, yeah
And I’ll only grow lonely, my darling, when the silence starts

Let me tell you, no one ever got my soul right like she could
Hear my heart, play my part in this deal with the darknesses
I know, I know
One time nobody ever got my soul right like she could, yeah
Now I’m close to what I’m needing
Now I’m close to what I’m needing
