Crimson Sky

A vision fell upon me

Fairest and lovely

My heart became ablaze

Igniting the skyline in an amber haze.

His vision was I could see

Strong and free

My soul called out his name

All but the birds and trees to blame.

I had been adrift at sea

The waves had taken its toll on me

My course a maze

Inviting a stupor and a daze.

We drifted as one though apart

The storms hit so hard upon my heart

Without a single compass to guide

But the safety of you still closes beside.

Knowing of the coming sorrow

Crimson sky tomorrow

A few touching moments may I borrow

A time to dance - a kiss perchance.

Crimson sky tonight

Don’t look ahead – just hold me tight

Relax within our sweet kisses

A time to rest – we are so blessed.

If I don’t ever get the chance

If time become unkind

If I never get to say

Remember me this way

Those three words I say all the time

May they forever be etched in your mind.

I will always have a chance

If only to the stars in skies at night

To be able to say

Remember me this way

The summer seas that glowed so bright

The wave’s embrace that felt so right.

Though beneath it we fell together

We withstood all kinds of weather.
