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
