"Starin Down the Sun" Lyrics

Went out west to take my rest
To leave it all behind me
Try to find some peace of mind
With nothin to remind me

Listen to the birds
Singin on the telephone line
Up in the hills
Where the spirits fly

Once again I'm starin down the sun

The wind kicks up the dust
In a busted boom town
You can almost hear the sound
Of what it was before

Oil or gold
Robbed the soul from this town
Spirits fly
Can you hear em cry at sundown

Once again I'm starin down the sun

A night-bird sings, spreads her wings
Darkness claims her kingdom
Shadows dance beyond my glance
But have I really seen them

Once again I'm starin down the sun
Once again I'm starin down the sun

The past may be the past
But it's never really gone
Steel to rust, bone to dust
The spirit carries on

Once again I'm starin down the sun
Once again I'm starin down the sun
Once again I'm starin down the sun
Once again I'm starin down the sun
