Under The Red Sky
Bob Dylan · Original Album Classics [2010]
And there was a little girl
And they lived in an alley
Under the red sky
There was a little boy and there was a little girl
And they lived in an alley under the red sky
There was an old man and he lived in the moon
One summers day
He came passin' by
There was an old man and he lived in the moon
And one day he came passin' by
Some day little girl
Everything for you is gonna be new
Some day little girl
You'll have a diamond as big as your shoe
Let the wind blow low
Let the wind blow high
One day a little boy and a little girl
Were both baking a pie
Let the wind blow low
Let the wind blow high
One day the little boy and little girl were baking a pie
This is a key to the kingdom
And this is the town
This is the blind horse that leads you around
Let the bird sing
Let the bird fly
One day the man and the moon went home
And the river went dry
Let the bird sing
Let the bird fly
The man and moon went home and the river went dry
Under The Red Sky
Bob Dylan's "Under The Red Sky" stands as a hauntingly atmospheric piece from his 2010 compilation "Original Album Classics." The track exemplifies the folk-rock and country-tinged sound that defined his career, particularly during the late 1960s and early 1970s. With its distinctive acoustic guitar work and Dylan's signature baritone, the recording captures the melancholic introspection characteristic of his best-known era. The song's lyrical themes of longing and isolation resonate deeply within the broader context of his discography, offering a stark contrast to his more upbeat or politically charged works. As a staple of his catalog, this recording remains a powerful testament to his ability to blend personal narrative with universal emotion, securing its place among his most enduring musical contributions.
