On The Western Skyline
Hornsby Bruce

Hornsby Bruce

Way It Is

On The Western Skyline

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

I'm staring into the twilight

Wishing I could find someone tonight


CHORUS

I know she's out there somewhere

On the western skyline

Lonely women say a prayer

On the western skyline


The rooftops sag on second street

Bachelor's quarters, too much fun, not enought dough

The kite's 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


CHORUS


They'll 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

He's got the admiral's daughter in the back

Trying to cross her battle line

As I'm staring into the twilight

Wishing I could be with her tonight


CHORUS

Lyrics by Hornsby Bruce

  Defenders Of The Flag   I Will Walk With You   Jacob's Ladder   Look Out Any Window   The Long Race   The Old Playground   The Red Plains   The River Runs Low   The Road Not Taken   The Show Goes On   The Valley Road   The Way It Is   The Wild Frontier   Till The Dreaming's Done
