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
