Lyrics

About this time of evening, out by the bay
 They turn the roadlights on the bridge
 Well, a diesel rolls in silhouette, eastbound
 Lovers glad the sun has set
 I'm staring into twilight
 Wishing I could find someone tonight
 I know she's out there somewhere
 On the western skyline
 Lonely women say a prayer
 On the western skyline
 The rooftops sag on Second Street
 Bachelor's quarters
 Too much fun, not enough dough
 Well, the kite's still hanging on the wire
 Waiting on the wind
 Too many dreams, not enough hope
 Voices on my radio
 Telling me where I should go
 I know she's out there somewhere (Somewhere)
 On the western skyline
 Lonely women say a prayer (Say a prayer)
 On the western skyline
 They'll set up on the bandstand
 When the sailors hear the whistle blow
 Underneath the streetlight
 Violence in the afterglow
 Give me a shiny Cadillac
 And close your eyes past that city limits sign
 Well, he's got the admiral's daughter
 He's got her in the back
 Trying to cross her battle line
 As I'm staring into twilight
 Wishing I could be with her tonight
 Whoa, oh
 I know she's out there somewhere (Somewhere)
 On the western skyline
 Lonely women say a prayer (Say a prayer)
 On the western skyline (Whoa-oa!)
 I know she's out there somewhere
 On the western skyline
