When the sky is turning red The day is almost dead Different atmosphere Wish you were here 'Cause I'm waiting for the day Things will be okay Will it ever come I don't really know Red painted skies Late noon in the night Will you ever see The little man's little dream When the light fades to rain You know you didn't gain What you did believe It was just a dream As I'm waiting for the day Things will be okay Will it ever come I don't really know Red painted sky Late noon in the night Will you ever see The little man's little dream 'Cause he's waiting for the day When darkness fades away Will you ever believe In the little man's little dream
