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      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 that 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 that 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      The sun again   Sun again
