Hornsby Bruce On The Western Skyline Lyrics

On The Western Skyline Lyrics

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
