Red Skies for My Green Eyes

Red Skies for My Green Eyes

If I told you I looked

For some red skies,

You'd think I was asking 

For some red wine.

Daytime to nightime,

Changing clockwise,

It shows in the crimson clouds

What it beholds.

Oh, wouldn't you believe

They could be so fair?

Mother of pearl 

Down on the Earth

Sends her joy

From the sea to the eyes.

But it ain't got a thing

For my green eyes

Like those red skies do for me.

Oh, wouldn't you believe

They could be so fair?

Red skies, oh me, oh my!

I exclaim in a vociferous cry.

Red skies are beautiful,

For they mean one thing:

The Black Widow is coming

To seduce the Day's blithe. 

As the Day withers away

To yet another death,

Those red skies give way

To Night's smoldering ash.

And whilst I'm aware that it won't last,

I'll enjoy and still not believe

It all is so fair.
