Watching the Sun Go Down

                                                                           Robert Wills (appears on Banana Roots Salad)

The sun lies lazy on the horizon

The days end so early, this time of year here

This, then, is the season we should be rejoicing

But it's hard to find someone to dance in the snow

I'm just watching the sun go down...the sun go down...(watching; watching)

It's days like this, which tend to make me a martyr

It's times like these, which tend to cost us our souls

Me, I'd be contented in heaven and here at the same time,

But there'd always be someone to beat on the drum

I'm just watching the sun go down...the sun go down...(watching; watching)

I hardly find time to read a good novel

I hardly find time to write to a friend

This is the way we lose touch with those things we hold precious

You hardly find poets with dreams anymore

I'm just watching the sun go down...the sun go down...(watching; watching)
