Red sky in the morning
You'd better take warning
Too young to be alone
Too late to fall

It's too bad you couldn't hear me
Or handle being near me
You know I love fiercely
Or not at all

This was your test run everything you told me
Even the times you swore you'd always hold me
Easier said than undone
This was your rough cut strong enough to show me
Shiny and sweet and better just to know me
Easier spoken than won
So get out

Red sky in the evening
And the sailing looks easy
That's when they start leaving
And run away

It's too bad you couldn't hear me
Or handle being near me
Some of us love fiercely
And some of us don't stay

This was your test run everything you told me
Even the times you swore you'd always hold me
Easier said than undone
This was your rough cut strong enough to show me
Shiny and sweet and better just to know me
Easier spoken than won
So get out

And if you want to see me angry
I think I've still got it in me
We're women who love fiercely
Or not at all

This was your test run everything you told me
Even the times you swore you'd always hold me
Easier said than undone
This was your rough cut strong enough to show me
Shiny and sweet and better just to know me
Easier spoken than won
So get out
