Verse 1

 There's a man on my street

 He reminds me everyday

 Better take what you can get

 Cause there's nothing more than this

 Daylight fades into the ground

Oh Lord I need you now

Chorus

Cover me with the red sky tonight

 The promise of a better day to come

Sing over me an angelic symphony

Tell me everything will be alright

With the red sky tonight

Verse 2

 We're so taken with our fear

 Now we're folded up in shame

 With our feet nailed to the floor

 We're the only ones to blame

Verse 3

I can't help but wonder why

Nobody bats an eye

You can see it in the faces

Of all the passers by

Chorus

 So, cover me with the red sky tonight

 The promise of a better day to come

 Sing over me an angelic symphony

Tell me everything will be alright

Verse 4

I sail into the sun

 When the day is done

 I need you in the night

 So wake me in the dark

 I see you in the sun

 When the day is done

Chorus

(slow)

Cover me with the red sky tonight

 The promise of a better day to come

(loud)

Sing over me an angelic symphony

Tell me everything will be alright

Tell me everything will be alright

Tell me everything will be alright

Outro

(listen for strumming)

It's the red sky

 It's the red sky

 Tonight

End on C
