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
|
