That Evening Sun
Lyricist:Jay Secor, William Watson
The alley dogs are barking, chickens crowing down the lane I feel just like that rooster with his mournful low refrain With the sun down on my shoulders just a hanging around the yard I'll be leaving here tomorrow, gonna catch an empty car
There's a thousand constellations in that brilliant beaming sky But the Earth is just one station on that lonesome starry line There's a distant whistle blowing down a rusty stretch of track And I'm just an empty coal car on that train not coming back
Well, I hate to see that evening sun go down When it's lonesome coming down my trail And I know this train will take me where I'm bound But I hate to see that evening sun go down
With the sidewalks and their street lamps city has her glow The poor boy has the moonlight walking in his shadow But the night time can't be trusted to return the morning sun Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com My eyes have not adjusted to this black face I've got on
Well, I hate to see that evening sun go down When it's lonesome coming down my trail Well, I know this train will take me where I'm bound Well, I hate to see that evening sun go down
Know the night time makes you lonesome for that early morning sun For the light upon that engine reaching towards the dawn You can spend your whole life racing down rusty railroad lines It's the setting sun you're chasing in that dark and rolling sky
Well, I hate to see that evening sun go down When it's lonesome coming down my trail But I know this train will take me where I'm bound But I hate to see that evening sun go down Yes, I hate to see that evening sun go down
