Eclipse lyrics 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
