Sunset Man

I’ve got a broken white line in my pocket
A humble offering to the gods of the road
They look down on every turn, on every man
Who’s on his way to far away

I’ve a punctuation mark in the middle of my life
Won’t you tell me if it’s a question
Of going on or dying where I am

So show me
I’m wandering without moving
Girl don’t you ever turn your back on me
That little bit of your anatomy
Dare I even say mediocrity
Don’t throw it darling, it’s nearly time for tea
Hold me
Love me

* I’m a sunset man, I walk away
You are another horizon
I’d like to stay, but I must be going,
Love me for today
I can’t even say I’m sorry
I’m not true, but I try not to lie
So, goodbye…

The road is a ribbon of promises
Thrown like dice, yes like dice
From a trembling hand
Up and down, round and round
I took a turn, and now I’m at the end of the way

Oh, I don’t deny it’s been lonely
And I’ve nothing left to give
I can’t look back, no
It’s another road anyway…

So show me
I’m wandering without moving
Girl don’t you ever turn your back on me
That little bit of your anatomy
Dare I even say mediocrity
Don’t throw it darling, it’s nearly time for tea,
Hold me
Love me

*
