lyrics

Stuck under blinding sun
walking by dry bones
the desert wears no clothes
I see mirages of home

Red sky
sailor's delight

On this lonely boat
ship wrecked but afloat
shipmates cast away
may I rue this day

Red sky
sailor's delight

Came to say good bye, you won't meet my eye
you won't even say hi
passed out in the snow, in the freezing cold
passed out in the snow, I've got nowhere to go
red sky at night, sailor's delight
red sky in morning, take warning
one if by land, two if by sea
you won't even come to see me

Red sky
sailor's delight

Streets are filled with snow
I can't find my way home
ice covers the streets
I admit defeat
