Red sky at night

On the eve you were born the sky was red raw

The sun a blood orange infringing the fields

Sleep was just a dream so I walked for hours

The air was cold, though spring was near

I thought of your mother, I thought of her pain

Of my emotive ache burning in rapport

Will you know me one day, my darling?

Will you hold my hand, kiss my cheek?

Or will your mother’s poison

Preserve me from your life?

As the crimson heavens turned to dark blue

My hopes aligned with the dying day

I love you my angel even though we’ve never met

Just remember you have a father,

That’s all I ask of you.
