On The Western Skyline — текст песни (Bruce Hornsby And The Range)

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
