from the songs album Back Home Again
the sun is slowly fadin' in the western sky
Sometimes it takes forever for the day to end
Sometimes it takes a lifetime
Sometimes i think i'll never see the sun again
There's a heavy smog between me and my mountains
It's enough to make a grown man sit and cry
It's enough to make you wonder
It's enough to make the world roll up and die
I think it's kind of interesting the way things get to be
The way that people work with their machines
Serenity's a long time comin' to me
The fact i don't believe i know what it means
In the east a shaded moon is hangin' lazily
I do believe i saw the old man smile
I do believe i did
I do believe he's been hangin' all the while
I think it's kind of interesting the way things get to be
The way that people work with their machines
Serenity's a long time comin' to me
The fact i don't believe i know what it means any more
When the sun is slowly fadin' in the western sky
Sometimes it takes forever the day to end
Sometimes it takes a lifetime
Sometimes i think i'll never see the sun again
Sun again
