Marriage is a marathon. Amateur lovers and pure romantics need not apply. This song was written in a particularly rough patch where both of us needed to discard who we were individually, rediscover, reinvent and rekindle our love for each other.
My daughter Sophie sings the beautiful backup.
Where oh where are you my love?
Where did you go tonight?
What highway should I be on?
What words could make it right?
Should I still be wonderin’
If I’m still inside your head?
So many miles between us
And the sun is setting red.
Red sky tonight
Sailor’s delight.
Or are you with another?
Holding you so tight
Where of where are you my dear
I know I disappeared
The nights are cold without you
I touch but you aren’t here
Have you moved along now?
Misread what I need
Could the life we built together
Be a flight of fantasy?
There’s a full moon over the Rockies
And a red sun on the rise
Baby is there some safe place for us
A way to compromise?
Could we bend the moonlight?
Back to another time
To a place where there’s no you or me
Just red skies burning bright
Could we bend the moonlight? / Where oh where are you my dear?
Back to another time / Where did you go tonight?
A place where there’s no you or me / What highway should I be on?
Just red skies burning bright / What words could make it right?
Snowing hard in Denver
I’m stuck in this loading bay
I thought about you all last night
Had the perfect things to say
I know that what I’m doin’
Never made much sense to you
But sometimes through the darkness
Is the only way back through
Red sky I’m in mourning
But I am not afraid
Should I find a road to get back home?
Or just be on my way?
