Bruce Hornsby - On The Western Skyline текст песни

B. r. hornsby/john hornsby

About this time of evening, out by the bay

They turn the roadlights on the bridge

A diesel rolls in silhouette, eastbound

Lovers glad the sun has set

Im staring into the twilight

Wishing I could find someone tonight

I know shes out there somewhere

On the western skyline

Lonely women say a prayer

On the western skyline

The rooftops sag on second street

Bachelors quarters, too much fun,

Not enough fun

The kites still hanging on the wire

Waiting on the wind

Too many dreams, not enough hope

Voices on my radio

Telling me where I should go

I know shes out there somewhere

On the western skyline

Lonely women say a prayer

On the western skyline

Theyll set up on the bandstand

When the sailors hear the whistle blow

Underneath the streetlight

Violence in the afterglow

Give me a shiny cadillac

Close your eyes past that city limits sign

Hes got the admirals daughter in the back

Trying to cross her battle line

As Im staring into the twilight

Wishing I could be with her tonight

I know shes out there somewhere

On the western skyline

Lonely women say a prayer

On the western skyline
