Eclipse

John Denver · Sunshine On My Shoulders: Best Of [2009]

The sun is slowly fading 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

there's a heavy smog between me and the 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



Chorus

I think it's kind of interesting

the way things get to be

the way the people work with their machines

serenity's a long time coming to me

in fact I don't believe I know what it means



In the east a shaded moon is hanging lazily

I do believe I saw the old man smile

I do believe I did

I do believe that he's been laughing all the while



Chorus

I think it's kind of interesting

the way things get to be

the way the people work with their machines

serenity's a long time coming to me

in fact I don't believe I know what it means, anymore



The sun is slowly fading 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

the sun again

the sun again
