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 laughin' 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 Sun again
