Blood red sky at morning
Could be a gloomy warning
Black smoke mixed with blue
But I can picture you
 
And it’s got me feelin’ down
‘Cause you, you’re not around
 
It’s a sad sunrise
I’d rather stare into your deep brown eyes
It’s a sad sunrise, as the sky paints goodbye
Oh, a sad sunrise
‘Cause you’re gone
Oh, you’re gone
 
I felt it last evening
A hint you’d be leaving
You said, “I wanna see the world…
Not much here for this girl”
 
And then, when the morning came
It called out your name

It’s a sad sunrise
I’d rather stare into your deep brown eyes
It’s a sad sunrise, with a trouble painted sky
Oh, a sad sunrise
‘Cause you’re gone
    
Why did you have to leave? 
There’s so much color right here
I’m trying hard to believe
I can get through this day without you near
‘Cause if the sun goes down, you won’t be coming back home
No
 
It’s a sad sunrise
I’d rather be starin’ into my baby’s eyes
A sad sunrise, with a sorrow painted sky
Oh, a sad sunrise
‘Cause you’re gone
Oh, you’re gone
Oh, you’re gone
