about

Jon: You know how it is, you wake up one day and the love of your life is gone.You don't? lucky you, Well, if you'd noticed the "Red Sky"in the morning you might not have been quite so surprised. Still you've got a really nice cup of morning coffee to bring you to your senses so there's always a silver (top) lining, isn't there? The song is oddly constructed for a pop tune. funky, yet acoustic, upbeat for a downer of a song, with repeats in 3 rather than 4, some deceptive twists here and there... the Verse is more like a chorus and vice versa. Karl forced us to de-house it in the final mix ( I quite liked the rather EDM/acid House keyboards in the initial versions). But hey, I only write 'em.

lyrics

“RED SKY” words and music by JAG Delaney © 2005

Verse 1
She leaves you without warning
Red Sky in the morning
And the rain keeps on pouring

Chorus 1
Like Another Cup of Coffee? Well its your wake up call
You were too busy sleeping she was talking to the wall

Verse 2
Never saw her falling
Red Sky in the Morning
Out of your arms into another’s

Chorus 2
Sorry to alarm you you had your wake –up call
I Couldn’t rise to answer now you’re talking to the wall
Sorry to alarm you you had your wake –up call
I Couldn’t rise to answer now you’re talking to the wall

Bridge
Of silence but you’ll learn to love it
And if you don’t or if you won’t
maybe then you’ll rise above it ……

Verse 3
Like a white cloud on a blue horizon
Or this red sky when she’s long gone
And I thought I , was the strong one?

Chorus 3
You and whose army I had my wake up call
Couldn’t rise to answer now I’m talking to the wall
You and whose army You had your wake up call
Couldn’t rise to answer now I’m talking to the

Break (as per verse)
(Red Sky in The morning) Huh!
Red Sky in the Morning
Some Warning

Part Instrumental Chorus to finish
Sha Na Na nah… Sha Na Na Nah Nah Nah Nah
Sha Na Na nah… Sha Na Na Nah Nah Nah Nah
Look at that Look at that Baby Look at that Red Red Sky
You couldn't rise to answer now you’re talking to the wall
