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 to say

When they ask you who you're living for, you'll drop my name

And then, 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

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

Give 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
