Good evening, are you new at the trade
At least I haven't met you before
Join the crowd that tries to get it made
All looking for a big deal to score
The nights are lonely for a man on the road
You see the family once a week
And years go by, increasing the load
It's hard life so to speak

Mmm, but red skies of love is what I see
A heavenly sound is what I hear
Red skies of love for you and me (yeah yeah)
Red skies of love (2x)

Well you know I'm a travelling man
There's not one town I don't know
I got the job by accident
It's the money that makes me go
Hotelroom after hotelroom
I must have seen 'm all
Never a first class treatment
For the expenses that I've got

Red skies of love
Red skies of love
Red skies of love
Red skies of love
Red skies of love
Red skies of love

How're you doing
Heard you're new at the trade
(herhaling eerste couplet vanaf 'At least')

Red skies of love
Red skies of love
Red skies of love
Red skies of love
Red skies of love
Red skies of love
