Eclipse Lyrics - John Denver

The sun is slowly fadin' in the western sky 

Sometimes it takes forever for the day to end 

Sometimes it takes a lifetime 

Sometimes I think I'll never see the sun again 

There's a heavy smog between me and my mountains 

It's enough to make a grown man sit and cry 

It's enough to make you wonder 

It's enough to make the world roll up and die 

I think it's kind of interesting the way things get to be 

The way that people work with their machines 

Serenity's a long time comin' to me 

The fact I don't believe I know what it means

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

In the east a shaded moon is hangin' lazily 

I do believe I saw the old man smile 

I do believe I did 

I do believe he's been laughin' all the while 

I think it's kind of interesting the way things get to be 

The way that people work with their machines 

Serenity's a long time comin' to me 

The fact I don't believe I know what it means any more

When the sun is slowly fadin' in the western sky 

Sometimes it takes forever the day to end 

Sometimes it takes a lifetime 

Sometimes I think I'll never see the sun again 

Sun again
