Red-Sky Seas
I hear your voice, just a whisper
I hear you sing it one last time
I could have sworn I heard you say
"I love you" before you turned away
faded roses in your hand
from the bed where they were strewn
petals wilted and turning brown
falling through fingers to the ground
I didn't see the things you saw
didn't know that it was there
as a heart escapes what was in the air
the end to a tragic love affair
two lovers in the heat of night
wait upon the sun to rise
ships that sail under red-sky seas
a love without a guaranty
