On The Western Skyline

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

I'm staring into the twilight

Wishing i could find someone tonight



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 enough fun

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



I know she's out there somewhere

On the western skyline

Lonely women say a prayer

On the western skyline



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



I know she's out there somewhere

On the western skyline

Lonely women say a prayer

On the western skyline
