The sun is slowly fading in the western sky. Sometimes it takes forever the day to end
Sometimes it takes a life time, 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 int’resting the way things get to be,
The way the people work with their machines.
Serenity’s a long time comin’ to me,
In fact I don’t believe that 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 laughin’ all the while.
I think it’s kind of int’resting the way things get to be,
The way the people work with their machines.
Serenity’s a long time comin’ to me
In fact I don’t believe that I know what it means anymore.
The sun is slowly fading in the western sky. Sometimes it takes forever the day to end.
Sometimes it takes a life time, Sometimes I think I’ll never see the sun again.
Sun again. Sun again. Hm hm hm.
