Kennedy, Dermot - Dancing Under Red Skies Lyrics






Sitting out in warm winds, flecks of sun painted on the sea
You smiled and looked down when I told you "It ain't bad to be me"
Give me moonlight, and a smile from you that I can barely believe

Baby those plans are grand but you don't mean the same
When they ask you who you're living for and you'll drop my name
And then, I found a new courage that kills cowards I've been holding in
And it took us back to times, when real men were real men

Let me tell you, no one ever got my soul right like she could, yeah
Amongst artists in heartlessness, dealing in darknesses
I know, I know
One time nobody ever got my soul right like she could, yeah
Now I'm close to what I'm needing

Now I'm close to what I'm needing

One by one we made it up over that hill
One by one they picked us off, laughing still
Let me know, let me know when I've got room to run
Let me know, let me know when that fool is cleaning his gun and I'll-

Let me tell you, no one ever got my soul right like she could, yeah
Amongst artists in heartlessness, dealing in darknesses
I know I know
One time nobody ever got my soul right like she could, yeah
Now I'm close to what I'm needing

And I hold on to your heart
And I keep on coming round, falling down, this part
And I'll only grow lonely, my darling, when the silence starts

Let me tell you, no one ever got my soul right like she could
In my heart, play my part, in this deal with the darknesses
I know I know
One time, nobody ever got my soul right like she could, yeah
Now I'm close to what I'm needing
Now I'm close to what I'm needing

    Great artist and found him hearing a snippet of a song in a countdown today.Kinda reminds me of a cross between James Blunt/Hozier.This is the kind of music that needs to be trending instead of the other pop/rap stuff.

    4 years ago, when i first quit using heroin i was sitting on my brother in laws couch at Thanksgiving dinner and he sat down, put Dermot Kennedy on and told me he really thought I'd enjoy it. His music has got me through some good and bad times since. His whole sound is unique- and that dirty voice gives me chills!!!! I'd do anything to see him in Greenville, SC! I love you, Dermot💜💜💜💜

    E.... H....

    From Spartanburg! Would die to see him that close to home!

    How do you do it? I mean, come on! Hands down, the best artist I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. You are such a beautiful gift to this world. Thank you for being who you are and for sharing all you have, with all of us. You are saving lives and connecting us all. I cannot wait to experience you live at The Fillmore, Detroit in March.

    There's always one song off every album I find that goes underrated. This one's a gem 👌

    r.... s....

    @r stoneshadow i agree its a beautiful song and the whole album is perfect

    r.... s....

    @SystemExclusive
    A true masterpiece 💕🎶

    r.... s....

    This isn't a new song though, so your point is valid. He's been playing it at shows a good while. If you search YouTube you can find a couple live shots. My brother and sister in law went to see him in Atlanta a while back and he has a recording of this song.

    r.... s....

    @Erika Haas the album is just released... You cant claim that this song is the one song of the album that goes underrated. Its such a personal thing. One likes this song the other likes another. Its defenitly to early to say this song is underrated in general opinion. But hey! This is starting to sound negative. I think the point of the original comment was letting others know how beautiful this song is in his or her opinion... And i think we all agree?? Its a true gem! Like the whole album is for me! My favorites for now are Couldnt tell and Lost. But this can change tomorrow 😄

    r.... s....

    @Erika Haas He used to play this song with his old band years ago before he went solo. Here's a link.

    I have listened to this a thousand times of he only versions that were available on YouTube before this. Sooo happy to finally have this one.

  25. N.... M....

    So beautiful x

  26. D.... S....

    Best song off the album. Masterpiece. This album is pure gold. Great piece of art

  27. A.... ....

    Love how hes such an Alpha man, "took us back to times when real men were real men". Now they all fairies. Thanks for keeping us alphas alive. x

    A.... ....

    😂😂😂

    AVRDXB 😀

    A.... ....

    Hello Johnny Bravo

    A.... ....

    You're misinterpreting.
    And men who feel the need to label and announce themselves as "alpha", are far from it 😉

  28. J.... R....

    Oh bro, good job

  29. V.... ....

    This song is so fucking nice! Thank You Dermot!

  30. J.... L....

    You never fail to impress.

  34. C.... D....

    Let me tell ya.... no one ever got my soul right like she could.

    C.... D....

    I know, i know. Now im close to what im needing

    C.... D....

    Let me know when that fools cleaning his gun

    C.... D....

    Reminds me of an ex that use to ring my house every day and night when I was a Jack the lad, now I see her about, shes absolutely stunning with her wee kids and I'm making my way to the off license for the cheapest wine or beer.

  35. M.... F....

    New fav

  36. S.... H....

    I know what this song is. I know what this album is. It is an ode to her. Thank you to her for inspiring such breathtaking music! <3

    S.... H....

    "... these songs will hold and hide your name"

    S.... H....

    But the song is written by 2 different man 🤔 I hope they didn't cheat on her!

    S.... H....

    @SystemExclusive Perhaps you should meditate on that one 😉

  37. J.... T....

    Não da pra escolher uma favorita.. todas as musicas são maravilhosas ♡.♡
