on the western skyline

about this time of evening

out by the bay

they turn the roadlights on the bridge

well

a diesel rolls in silhouette

eastbound

lovers glad the sun has set

i'm staring into 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 dough

well

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

and 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 twilight

wishing i could be with her tonight

whoa

oh

i know she's out there somewhere

on the western skyline

lonely women say a prayer

on the western skyline

i know she's out there somewhere

on the western skyline
