A Coal Red Sky Songtext
von Carrie Newcomer

It′s more than a need more than desire
More like a slow heartbreaking fire
Gone up in smoke in a coal red sky

Doesn't it strike you a little odd
That something so wrong could feel like God?
It′s gone up in smoke in a coal red sky

Fires burn and now I know
I've faced the devil toe to toe
How many nights did I waste
How many years for just a taste?

It's like a cancer round your spine
Then it can seem your best lifeline
Gone up in smoke in a coal red sky


Fires burn and now I know
I′ve faced the devil toe to toe
How many nights did I waste
How many years for just a taste?

Here I sit with open hands
Here I wait without a plan
No one tells you when you start
Kid this stuff will break your heart

And so the fire crackles on
It′s never done it's never gone
It′s calling my name in a coal red sky

Fires burn and now I know
I've faced the devil toe to toe
How many nights did I waste
How many years for just a

Fires burn and now I know
I′ve faced the devil toe to toe
How many nights did I waste
How many years for just a taste?
