Tekst piosenki
She slipped out of the door in her traveling shoes Got a man on her mind, not a minute to lose She's so well intentioned, but hardly a clue And she just can't shake these alone again blues Just the night before last she awoke with a start After falling asleep by the fire in the dark She felt something was wrong Something strange and bizarre And she needed to stop it from tearing apart When they met it was brief, he was cool and so loose She walkingon air in some other girl's shoes In a moment of weakness, he'd tried and she knew There'd be nothing to show but alone again blues And she sings, "Red sky evening, now he's leaving Grey sky morning, now he's gone" We Il she let him walk out without even a fight By convincing herself they were too much alike When he cursed her and left her, it seemed only right They'd just bitten off more than they'd planned in one night We Il she broke down and cried, but it wasn't no good For the thought of him leaving just darkened her mood Till the rage she was feeling polluted her blood And she could not believe how he'd misunderstood She raved and she ranted, it wasn't her fault And she could not abide a man not worth his salt It was something much deeper than pride could undo It was poetic justice, alone again blues And she sings, "Red sky evening, now he's leaving Grey sky morning, now he's gone" So she drove through the city all over the place She was feeling rejected, feeling disgraced She finally gave up, parked outside of his place With this mask of bewilderment covering her face She's the kind of a girl he won't ever forget A little mistake that he couldn't correct It's "finders are keepers," it's "merci beaucoup" When you just can't shake those alone again blues And she sings, "Red sky evening, now he's leaving Grey sky morning, now he's gone"
