On The Western Skyline Lyrics - The Way It Is - Bruce Hornsby

About this time of evening, out by the bay 

They turn the road lights on the bridge 

A diesel rolls in silhouette, eastbound 

Lovers glad the sun has set 

I'm staring into the 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 fun 

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 

On the western skyline 

Lonely women 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 

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 the twilight 

Wishing I could be with her tonight 

I know she's out there somewhere 

On the western skyline 

Lonely women say a prayer 

On the western skyline
