  G#       A#m              G#
I open my eyes, everything shines
             A#m                   G#
Swim as the breeze blows down the coast
           A#m                  G#
Down on my luck, breathing my last
         A#m              G#
Dirty old hands carry me home

Chorus:
Fm       D#
Red sky turning round
  C#        Cm
Black rain falling down
     A#
If you’ve got love
                 D#            D#7
You better hope that thats enough

Sandstorm cuts your skin
Black cloud circling
If you’ve got love
You better hope that thats enough

We came from the south to Lebanon's shore
Folded our clothes, dived into peace
The blackest of seas glittering red
Lit by the fire over our heads

Chorus:
Red sky turning round
Black rain falling down
If you’ve got love
You better hope that thats enough

Sandstorm cuts your skin
Songbirds circling
If you’ve got love
You better hope that thats enough
