John Calvin Abney - Sundowner Lyrics

Sundowner
Goodnight for a little while,
between every hour, there are letters in piles.
Your tide is at midnight and noon,
I'm pushing back water like the pull of the moon.

Sundowner sinking behind horizon line,
hiding from what he must do,
Sundowner's ready for your morning to rise,
and I'd kill all those miles for you.

First times not always learned,
the second time through you are battered and burned,
and Trouble tells you to believe,
ties you to a white flag and laughs with Misery.

Sundowner sinking behind horizon line,
hiding from what he must do,
Sundowner's ready for your morning to rise,
and I'd kill all those miles for you.

Take back the words that we said,
folks say their worst when they are beaten and bled,
Sundowner's rushing through town,
appear overnight and expect to settle down.

Sundowner sinking behind horizon line,
hiding from what he must do,
Sundowner's ready for your morning to rise,
and I'd kill all those miles for you.

After the storm ends, the cicada's swell,
and the sky is sapphire blue,
this Sundowner's ready to climb from his well,
and kill all these miles for you.

I'd kill all these miles for you.
