John Denver

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
