C           Em                C
The sky was red, he stayed ahead
             Em               C
I saw him thread one step more
             Em                  C
Gets out of bed, he fills with dread
                Em                F
His dreams are dead, money makes poor
              Em                     C  Em
He's been mislead, life's flown overhead
     C  Em
Overhead...
     C  Em
Overhead...
   C  Em
Ohhhhh

There's a bird trapped in his head but
he ignores it instead
And his spirit has long fled and now he
is hard to the core
She could have lead him to the rich sky
Wonders why she's not around anymore
He's been misled
Life's flown overhead
Overhead
Overhead
Ohhhhh

He said I can lead you to the red sky
If you just stop asking why
If you just stop asking why
If you just stop asking why
Why

And I said I will reach deep down inside
And stare with you ahead and give you all my red
And put it in your head and in your heart
And I will part and you will stay
But I will still dream of one day
Might not be so far away
Might not be so far away
