Red sky morning, lovers warning Oh I know that promise you wear, well it ain't for me Shallow river, shining within her Flood it all, drown the crops, but just please don't swallow me Settle down (settle, settle, settle) Hold your heart, be still, be still May the whole sky fall May it all come down Wasted all for the title Wasted all for the crown Keep your distance, make resistance Stay the course when you falter and don't you think of me Glowing ember, growing within her Burn it all, raze the field, but just please don't swallow me May the whole sky fall May it all come down Wasted all for the truth For the fool in her wedding gown Let her leave my sight Make her leave my mind Bring it down on my head If these sins are mine Call it down on my head For these sins are mine Settle down (settle, settle, settle) Hold your heart, be still, be still Let her go (settle, settle, settle) Hold your heart, be still, be still Lovely lady, no one's baby Keep your chains off the ground and don't you think of me

Hear me, women and wives Hear me, husbands and lovers What we do with our lives Seems to matter to others Some of them may follow Roads that we run down Chasing tomorrow Many choices to make Many chains to unravel Every path that we take Makes it harder to travel Laughter turned to sorrow Doesn't get me down Chasing tomorrow When tomorrow comes around You'll be looking at the future So keep your feet upon the ground And get ready to run Now hear me, mothers and men Hear me, sistеrs and brothers Teach your children and thеn Make 'em pass it to others Some of them may borrow Tears you hand them down Chasing tomorrow Hear me, women and wives Hear me, husband and lovers What we do with our lives Seems to matter to others Some of them may follow Roads that we run down Chasing tomorrow Get ready to run Chasing tomorrow Get ready to run

Hey little girl, comb your hair, fix your makeup Soon he will open the door Don't think because there's a ring on your finger You needn't try anymore For wives should always be lovers too Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you I'm warning you Day after day, there are girls at the office And men will always be men Don't send him off with your hair still in curlers You may not see him again For wives should always be lovers too Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you He's almost here Hey little girl, better wear something pretty Something you'd wear to go to the city And dim all the lights, pour the wine Start the music, time to get ready for love Time to get ready for love, time to get ready
