Red sky morning, lovers warning Oh I know that promise you wear, well it ain't for me Shallow river, shining within her Flood it all, drown the crops, but just please don't swallow me Settle down (settle, settle, settle) Hold your heart, be still, be still May the whole sky fall May it all come down Wasted all for the title Wasted all for the crown Keep your distance, make resistance Stay the course when you falter and don't you think of me Glowing ember, growing within her Burn it all, raze the field, but just please don't swallow me May the whole sky fall May it all come down Wasted all for the truth For the fool in her wedding gown Let her leave my sight Make her leave my mind Bring it down on my head If these sins are mine Call it down on my head For these sins are mine Settle down (settle, settle, settle) Hold your heart, be still, be still Let her go (settle, settle, settle) Hold your heart, be still, be still Lovely lady, no one's baby Keep your chains off the ground and don't you think of me
