For Every Setting Sun

Everybody's lost on their own road
Trying to lose whatever baggage they can unload
Their thumbs are out in the hot sun
Everybody's looking to catch one
But you don't find love within
Asphalt and bone

Maybe Jane was just listening to the rain
Dance along that greyhound window pane
When somewhere along I-95
The sigh in her lungs met
The tear in her eye
And she rubbed her hand
Where your ring used to be

But she keeps shining on
Like every setting sun
Just keep shining on
Like every setting sun
Our days are numbered
And these nights keep raging on
Keep shining on
Like every setting sun

An umbrella thrown forms a cross with the yellow line
Torn pages float over windshields into the sky
The silence sounds it's own alarm
Like stretcher waiting with open arms
Until the flashing lights
Break the night open wide

But keep shining on
Like every setting sun
Just go keep shining on
Like every setting sun
Our days are numbered
And these nights keep raging on
Keep shining on
Like every setting sun

Some men tread water
And some just drown
Some never leave the shore at all
Come hell or high water
When they lower me down
I'll be smiling
With wide open arms

But the heavens rarely offer any sign
Or release from these anxieties of our time
But go tilt your head back to the stars
And you'll fail to make sense of this life of ours
Maybe it's better to drop
Than rot on the vine

But keep shining on
Like every setting sun
Just go keep shining on
Like every setting sun
Our days are numbered
And these nights keep raging on
Keep shining on
Like every setting sun
