Seth Lakeman - Blood Red Sky Lyrics

Staring at the dark with hungry eyes
Moonlight flickered in the shadows cried
Gold ring flashed and the howling stopped
I called her name and the west wind dropped
I called her name and the west wind dropped

I push her on the arm with the silver cane
Took her by the hand, I saw her pain
My breath smelt like a burning house
Bitter cold words upon my mouth
Bitter cold words upon my mouth

A tall dark figure is on the loose
With big sharp teeth to bite the truth
I steal your honour and tell you lies
Leave you all alone in the blood red sky
I'll leave you all alone in the blood red sky

Wake up late in the mid day sun
Reach for the shadow but I'll be gone
Through empty fields and storm blown trees
Praying to the night to set you free
You'll be praying to the night to set you free

A tall dark figure is on the loose
With big sharp teeth to bite the truth
I steal your honour and tell you lies
Leave you all alone in the blood red sky
I'll leave you all alone in the blood red sky

Leave you all alone
Sky
Blood red sky
Blood red sky
Blood red sky

Stained glass windows, shadowed pains
Fairy tale stories and autumn rings
Falling shadow and a cold embrace
Cross your heart and you'll see my face
Cross your heart and you'll see my face

A tall dark figure is on the loose
With big sharp teeth to bite the truth
I steal your honour and tell you lies
Leave you all alone in the blood red sky

A tall dark figure is on the loose
With big sharp teeth to bite the truth
I steal your honour and tell you lies
Leave you all alone in the blood red sky

A tall dark figure is on the loose
With big sharp teeth to bite the truth
I steal your honour and tell you lies
Leave you all alone in the blood red sky
I'll leave you all alone in the blood red sky
I'll leave you all alone in the blood red sky
