Sundowner — текст песни (The Walkabouts)

Deaf as a fence post
Alone on a winter`s night
I`m drunk as a racehorse
But I`ll never fade outta sight

There`s a wild below me
A wild up there in the stars
There`s a history behind me
A child gone cold in my arms

Tell George and Tammy
I`m ripe for the taking these days
It`s a good year for roses
(And) a bad year for runnin` in place

But if they don`t believe me
I`ll do what I always have done
I won`t be the sundowner
No I`ll never cheat on the sun

`Cause when the sun comes up
And the moon is gone
To the bridge I go
To the bridge I run

And when I reach the edge
Onto the bridge I crawl
And when I find you my friend
From the bridge I fall

This is the last place
That I`ve ever been, ever been
It`s the last best place
That I`ve ever been, ever been

And in spite of my weakness
And all my desires to win
I won`t be the sundowner
Tomorrow I`ll leave here again

`Cause when the sun comes up
And I need a friend
To the bridge I run
When I need a friend

And when I meet the edge
Onto the bridge I crawl
And when I find you my friend
It`s from the bridge I fall
