Eclipse

the sun is slowly fadin' in the western sky

Sometimes it takes forever for the day to end

Sometimes it takes a lifetime

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 interesting the way things get to be

The way that people work with their machines

Serenity's a long time comin' to me

The fact i don't believe 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 hangin' all the while



I think it's kind of interesting the way things get to be

The way that people work with their machines

Serenity's a long time comin' to me

The fact i don't believe i know what it means any more



When the sun is slowly fadin' in the western sky

Sometimes it takes forever the day to end

Sometimes it takes a lifetime

Sometimes i think i'll never see the sun again

Sun again
