On the Western Skyline
About this time of evening, out by the bayThey turn the road lights on the bridgeA diesel rolls in silhouette, eastboundLovers glad the sun has setI'm staring into the twilightWishing I could find someone tonightI know she's out there somewhereOn the western skylineLonely women say a prayerOn the western skylineThe rooftops sag on second streetBachelor's quarters, too much fun,Not enough funThe kite's still hanging on the wireWaiting on the windToo many dreams, not enough hopeVoices on my radioTelling me where I should goI know she's out there somewhereOn the western skylineLonely women say a prayerOn the western skylineSongtexteThey'll set up on the bandstandWhen the sailors hear the whistle blowUnderneath the streetlightViolence in the afterglowGive me a shiny CadillacClose your eyes past that city limits signHe's got the admiral's daughter in the backTrying to cross her battle lineAs I'm staring into the twilightWishing I could be with her tonightI know she's out there somewhereOn the western skylineLonely women say a prayerOn the western skyline
