Red Sky at Night
country blues with electricguitar riff
Plenty of fabulous sunsets in India – this was almost the title track for this CD
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2017
D A I ain’t no shepherd but I know what I like
D A It don’t get better than a red sky at night
D A I get to thinking as it’s sinking below
D A The world is turning and I’m ready to go
G E D A (D A)
Roll on… feel that red sun
Sitting still whilst spinning at a thousand miles an hour
Can’t but help to make you feel in awe of that power
I’m fizzing with kinetic energy
I feel the life force in me bursting free
Roll on… feel that red sun
E There’s inner peace there in the eye of the storm
G Just find the fulcrum you can make things turn
A If that sounds a little contradictory
C B (D A)
That’s just the way it is so don’t blame me
A storm is brewing way out there to the west
Bring on the maelstrom let it do its best
Let all that rain pour down and wash things clean
It’s where I’m going to not where I’ve been
Roll on… feel that red sun
